I wonder if a rewrite of the specification taking into account FAQ that actually seem to fit the lives of most working archaeologists, might help to promote the scheme as more user friendly.
I did email the IfA once with a question on filling in the CPD and they answered really quickly with some detailed advice, which was very nice. To rewrite the specification, or even have an actual FAQ section, to make the scheme seem less daunting to people with somewhat random employment/training opportunities (i.e. quite a large number of archaeologists!) would be really excellent.
