Professional recognition

Learning can lead to a profession. Here is what that means for this career.

Professional body to be confirmed

NIBS names a body here only once it is the relevant one for this role. Membership of a professional body gives you a community, a standard of practice, continuing professional development and, in time, a designation.

CPD: recognition subject to approval. NIBS claims none until a body approves an activity.

Formal progression

Where a formal qualification is offered, this career leads toward it. A separate programme with its own registration, assessment and fees, never included in NIBS Plus.
