Interesting. What's an "IFA accredited Archaeologist", exactly? Presumably that means corporate-grade (AIFA or MIFA) because these are the only levels where a candidate needs to provide evidence of experience. (Am I right in thinking ROs aren't vetted for past accomplishments prior to gaining RO status - only obliged to promise to meet minimum IFA standards in future?)
The LA can ask for whatever they want as a criterion, as long as none of the "disqualified" potential applicants feel they can afford to mount a legal challenge! But I'd like to see the outcome if one did...
Once IFA gains Chartered status, then there will be more solid grounds for using membership as a pre-qual, but at the moment it sounds shaky...
