When you apply for a professional title, you’ll need to demonstrate that your individual knowledge and expertise align with our Standard for Professional Competence and Commitment for the level at which you’re applying.

Here’s what you’ll need to show:

Showcasing Your Expertise: Your evidence should focus on your individual contributions—what you have achieved, rather than what your team has done. Think “I” instead of “We.”
Underpinning Knowledge and Understanding: This is about showing the knowledge behind your skills and decisions. You can demonstrate this in two ways:
- Qualifications: Certifications, academic learning, or work-based courses that could be aligned with the Standard.
- Work-Based Learning: The knowledge and skills you’ve developed throughout your career.
  You will need to use the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result) can help you effectively frame your achievements. Assessors will review your application to see how your knowledge and experience align with the Standard for Professional Competence and Commitment, ensuring you meet the criteria for your desired title.

To become professionally registered, individuals are also required to commit to a code of ethics that demonstrates their commitment to promote credibility, integrity and professionalism in everything they do.
