6 1. Introduction The CIOB recognises academic and vocational qualifications which satisfy either fully or partially, its educational requirements. The CIOB Education Framework provides the criteria against which qualification recognition is measured. This sets and maintains the standards for entry to CIOB membership and is subject to continual review and assessment. Through a process of accreditation, mutual recognition or course validation through the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), the CIOB Recognised Awards List details those qualifications for which approval has been sought and granted. Within the Recognised Awards List, each qualification is listed according to the category/level into which it falls (e.g. degree). A list of abbreviations used throughout is provided towards the end of this document for reference. Whilst CIOB makes every effort to ensure the accuracy and validity of the information contained within this publication, errors contained within the text may arise. CIOB recommends making contact with Membership Services before relying on this information. 2. CIOB Recognition of Qualifications The CIOB currently recognises the following type of accredited or approved qualifications: Masters programmes (e.g. MSc, MBA, MA) Postgraduate qualifications Bachelor degrees (e.g. BSc, BA) Foundation degrees HND and HNC courses S/NVQ qualifications Levels 3, 4 and 5 CIOB-registered qualifications and awards Other sub-degree level qualifications as listed In addition, the CIOB has also established international agreements with countries in Europe and across the world in the recognition of qualifications. Further details can be found within this publication. In recognising the qualifications listed, the CIOB does not seek to equate one with another. Qualifications shown are those approved by the CIOB as meeting the minimum requirements for recognition at the level indicated. The CIOB reserves the right to alter and amend this list. Candidates applying to the CIOB must submit a completed application form together with a photocopy of the award certificate/s upon which the application is based, or a statement signed by the Principal, Registrar or Head of Department of a teaching institution certifying that the candidate holds the qualification claimed. Individual Assessment Candidates from the UK and Overseas who hold qualifications not included within the list, can request an individual recognition assessment for which a non-refundable fee of 75 will be charged. 3.

19 7. CIOB Graduate Diploma Programme The route in outline The Graduate Diploma provides academic eligibility for full CIOB membership for graduates without construction-related degrees (non cognates). The Graduate Diploma programme is designed as 12 modules and is based on the CIOB Education Framework: Part 1 is Induction to Construction (I2C) and its purpose is to provide a general orientation to the industry. It is open to non-cognate graduates from any area of the industry who may not necessarily be proceeding with the rest of the programme. Part 2 consists of 11 modules taken approximately every 3 months. Each module is followed by an 8-10 week period of work-based study based on an assignment. To achieve full chartered status MCIOB graduates will also need to undertake either NVQ 4 or the CIOB s PDP (Professional Development Programme). Employers will decide which of these two is most relevant and at what point graduates should make a start. The route in outline Part 1: I2C Induction Part 2: Developing knowledge and understanding Learning Programme: 11 Modules at levels 1, 2 and 3. Assessment through logging learning, assignments and examinations Graduate Diploma awarded by CIOB on completion of 12 Modules. Accreditation of Prior Learning means that some exemptions may be awarded CSCS card (Platinum) Chartered status 1 Module Mentor and coaching support from employer NVQ 4 or PDP I Approx 3 years I At the end of Year 1, the CIOB will award Associate status. On the completion of the programme, in addition to the Diploma, Incorporated status will be awarded. Delivery will be through a mixture of workshops, lectures and projects, and both individual and group activity. The aim is to use an adult approach to accelerate learning. 15

20 Each module requires about 100 hours work, about half of which will be the taught modules. Assessment will be by a combination of learning log/records, work-based assignments and examinations, whichever is appropriate to the module. These work-based projects mesh the theoretical work undertaken on the course with the graduate's job responsibilities and development needs. Module 1 (Induction) will be held at the Centre at CITB Construction Skills National Construction College, Bircham Newton. All other modules will be held at universities contributing to the Construction Partnership. Further Information Additional details on and contact information for the CIOB Graduate Diploma Programme can be found at (Education). 8. International Agreements & Qualification Recognition The CIOB has developed a number of partnerships with international organisations as a way of supporting our membership. Every partnership is different, reflecting what each organisation has to offer and the benefits to be gained from working together. There are three main types of partnership: Partnerships with similar organisations, such as the American Institute of Constructors. Through these partnerships we recognise each other's membership, Standards and participate in joint activities.* Reciprocal Agreements, where we recognise each other's standards in educational accreditation. Examples are the American Council for Construction Education, and the National Board for Construction Accreditation, China. Project partnerships, such as with the Ministry of Construction China, and CSCEC China, focusing on particular development work and out comes. These can involve development of university courses, setting up of training centers, developing occupational standards, etc. * Please note that evidence of completion of the CIOB Professional Review will be required by CIOB for entry to Corporate membership. 16

22 Professional Review The Professional Review is the final stage to gaining the CIOB Chartered qualification, which all candidates have to successfully complete to achieve MCIOB. Applications for the Professional Review will only be considered from candidates who are fully exempt academically. Professional Review candidates will be assessed in the following areas: Part 1 Occupational competence Part 2 competence Part 3 Commitment to professionalism Candidates are required to submit the Professional Review report and supporting documents for assessment. After successful assessment, candidates are invited for interview for which they are required to prepare and deliver a short oral presentation which is followed by questions from the panel. The interview will be conducted by a panel of Chartered members and will primarily concentrate on the content of the report and presentation, although candidates will need to be able to demonstrate knowledge of topical issues surrounding the industry. The interview result is given on the day. Professional Review candidates who have completed an S/NVQ level 4 or 5 and/or the Professional Development Programme (PDP) are eligible for exemption from Parts 1 and 2.

23 Continuing Professional Development Underpinning your commitment to your career

24 Continuing Professional Development The need for a more competent workforce is occurring against a background of major changes in business practice. Individuals are now seeking more variety and mobility of employment and this means that they must also take more personal responsibility for their own learning and development. CIOB members need to be increasingly self-aware and imaginative in their approaches to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if this is to be effective. CPD is a key part of professional life for any CIOB member and underpins the value of the professional qualification. An institute that cannot demonstrate a firm commitment to CPD undersells its members. Every member has an obligation under Rule 13 of the CIOB Rules of Professional Competence and Conduct to maintain the currency of the professional qualification through CPD. The ruling states: Members shall keep themselves informed of current thinking and developments appropriate to the type and level of their responsibility. They should be able to provide evidence that they have undertaken sufficient study and personal development to fulfil their professional obligations in accordance with the current guidelines for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The CIOB operates a CPD monitoring programme which involves checking the CPD records of a random selection of members. You need not submit your CPD record unless you are contacted and asked to do so. You may also record your CPD online at the members area of the CIOB website. All members are responsible for developing their own annual CPD plan, evaluating their CPD activities and keeping a record of the activities that they undertake. Compliance does not require a set number of hours. The amount of CPD you do will depend on your circumstances, and be appropriate for your responsibilities and ongoing development. Advantages of CPD CPD is the process of regularly assessing current and future skill and knowledge requirements relevant to your responsibilities, and then planning and implementing an ongoing programme of training and development to address these needs. The process allows you to: Progress your career Maintain your professional status Reflect on personal achievements and invest in future development Learn from others and exchange knowledge and ideas Benchmark your performance Demonstrate to colleagues and clients that you are a self-starter and motivated to learn Develop the skills you need to do your job more effectively Learn in a flexible style, identifying and making the most of available development opportunities. At the heart of good CPD practice is the belief that investment in your own learning and development is the most important investment you can make.

25 The CPD Cycle The current recommended approach to CPD treats it as a cyclical process: Record evidence of competence gained Assess and evaluate achievements Maintain a Personal Development Record Review, analyse and appraise current skills and knowledge Carry out development activities Profile current and future competence needs Plan development activity Prepare Development Action Plan For CPD to be effective, you should remember that you have unique development needs and the key words to be considered in the review and planning stages are 'personal professional development'. CPD shouldn t merely be a hunt for certificates or points; it s a chance to experience learning opportunities and develop new talents and skills relevant to your existing and future needs. CPD activities might include: Open distance learning (video packages, the Internet, slide/tape packages, correspondence courses) Private study, including systematic study of appropriate literature or research, or even learning a relevant language Technical and professional conferences, lectures, seminars, workshops, study tours, technical visits and short courses Courses leading to professional qualifications or academic awards Writing articles for publication Teaching (for those not in teaching posts) Practice (for those in teaching posts) Preparing papers and contributing to technical meetings and study groups Examining, tutoring or mentoring. Sources of CPD information The CIOB has the following resources available to help members accomplish their CPD targets: CPD guidelines, forms and templates in the members area of the CIOB website The CIOB organises local and regional events aimed to meet CPD needs of members, which are also open to all interested parties CIOB Resources (Library, Publications, Construction Books Direct) CIOB Knowledge Centre Training and CPD providers. Information on the above resources is available on the CIOB website at How will CPD be monitored? Though your CPD records no longer need to be sent to us they should be up to date and available for use in the ways specified below: CPD monitoring process This involves sampling members and asking them to produce their CPD records for the past year. Members who may be experiencing difficulties with their CPD records will be provided with support and mentoring throughout the process. It should be noted that failure to comply with CPD requirements at anytime during the process will lead to disciplinary proceedings. At the Professional Review When applying for corporate membership, candidates are required to submit a copy of their CPD records for the last three years and a forward development plan covering the next year. Membership of CIOB boards, committees and panels The CPD records of those members actively involved with the CIOB will be checked once every three years as proof that their knowledge and understanding are up to date. For those members who apply for registration in a discipline This applies to members of the Faculty of Architecture and Surveying. CPD online Those members who choose to record their CPD online will streamline the monitoring process. They will not be required to submit records - these can be checked without any further action on their part. To record your CPD online visit the CIOB website and log on to the members area.
