Proposed AAI&S and IfA merger

[kevin wooldridge]

Putting aside the difficulties facing Illustrators and Surveyors in deciding whether they want to amalgamate with the IfA.......

.....I suggested on this forum a few months back (can't remember where right now) that the IfA could both simplify and enhance its MIFA grading if it introduced a system where MIFA grading was only issued after a candidate had served an appropriate length of time as an AIFA (i.e no direct MIFA entry level). In doing so the IfA could satisfy itself that MIFA grading was only given to persons who satisified the aims of the Institute rather than based on potentially spurious assessment of a set of ill and widely defined external conditions....but you know simple is never easy!!
