The CIAT Conservation Register identifies Chartered Architectural Technologists competent in the conservation of historical buildings and their surroundings, as defined and recognised by the Edinburgh Group. (The Edinburgh Group is a consortium of bodies with expertise and representation within conservation, including English Heritage, Historic Scotland and professional bodies).
Assessment of suitability to be placed upon the CIAT Conservation Register will be determined based upon a technical assessment of a candidate’s portfolio followed by a formal interview, again based upon the submitted portfolio. CIAT will inform candidates of the outcome of his/her portfolio assessment and the interview will be arranged for a mutually convenient time thereafter.
