Professional Practice Interview
The final stage of achieving Chartered Membership status is successful attendance at the Professional Practice Interview.
The Professional Practice Interview enables the Institute’s membership Assessors to determine the candidate’s level of professional competence in Architectural Technology, as their technical competence has already been assessed via the POP Record.
To qualify as a professional Architectural Technician (TCIAT), the candidate does not attend an interview.
The Professional Practice Interview is based on the last three units within the Chartered Architectural Technologist POP Record. The candidate will be expected to bring a portfolio of their work and evidence which must illustrate their involvement in the areas described by units O, P and Q of the POP Record.
Unit O Manage and contribute to meetings
- O.1 Manage meetings
- O.2 Make analytical contributions to meetings
Unit P Enhance working relationships and operate in a professional manner
- P.1 Present technical information and provide advice on technical problems
- P.2 Identify, summarise and analyse complex, indeterminate problems
- P.3 Contribute to the protection of individual and community interests
Unit Q Undertake structured personal development
- Q.1 Identify, record and analyse personal development aims and progress
