If the company you worked for was any good they would pay your professional fees. My last 3 employers have.
Of more concern to me is the IFAs perceived need to be an all embracing organisation (i.e. a competitor to IHBC). The IFA is for archaeologists and I see IFA/IHBC as having complementary roles. They are and should be quite different in outlook. I feel that this attempted shift is misguided. Is that a robust enough start?

By the way the point about SVQs vs NVQs was (semi) serious. Are NVQs invalid north of the border?
