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.) This document is designed to guide candidates through the registration process and should be used in conjunction with the main scheme booklet, which contains the requirements of the framework alongside typical evidence.
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 their portfolio assessment and the interview will be arranged for a mutually convenient time thereafter.
