Job applications/CVs

Background information – please note this is not for the application form or CV (see down)

All Chartered Members of CIAT are eligible to apply for positions which stipulate within their criteria 'must be a graduate or graduate level' (or similar). To qualify as a Chartered Architectural Technologist, MCIAT, a Member must hold either a BSc (Hons) degree in Architectural Technology or demonstrate academic equivalence either by holding a degree in a different subject or by having their professional performance competencies and the required underpinning knowledge assessed.
 
This equivalence was independently audited by the Privy Council and DFES (now split between the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and Department of Children, Schools and Families) and further recognised under the European Directive 2005/36/EC on mutual recognition during the Institute’s Chartered Petition in 2005. 
 
Chartered Members without degrees are therefore eligible to apply for jobs seeking a candidate at graduate level accordingly. For further information please contact the Education Department at CIAT, +44(0)20 7278 2206, tara@ciat.org.uk.
 
If you find that a potential employer or agency does not accept this position, please do notify either Tara Pickles, Education Director or Francesca Berriman, Chief Executive.
