This guide walks you through a professional accreditation application, from choosing your level to submitting evidence, understanding the fees, and tracking the panel's review.
From your hub, open Professional accreditation and pick the level your evidence supports today: Student, Associate, Professional, or Fellow. The application opens as a series of short steps, with your chosen level already selected on the first one. You can apply again at your current level or any higher level your evidence supports, before or after expiry.
Work through the steps about your experience: the sector you work in, how much of your working or study time is AI work, your current role, and how far the AI work you are responsible for has travelled. You can also add previous roles and qualifications.
Place your practice against each domain of the competency framework, choosing the description that fits your work today and adding evidence where you have it. Then write your personal statement about your AI work, experience, and goals. This is what the panel reads most closely, so make it count.
Add up to three references who can vouch for your professional experience, with a name, email, and your relationship to each. You can also add up to five supporting links, such as your LinkedIn, portfolio, GitHub, or publications.
Agree to the terms and select Submit application; once submitted, an application cannot be edited. On your first professional application, you go to Stripe checkout to pay the assessment fee before panel review. If you have already paid for a professional assessment for a successful accreditation, your application goes straight to review with no further assessment fee. Every application needs panel approval, followed by the one-off accreditation fee. Track its status from your hub.
Choose your level, build your application, and submit it for panel review, all from your hub.
