Individuals can still become professionally qualified through self-managed training without having completed an ICE Approved Training Scheme.
Once you have gained sufficient experience you are able to apply for a Career Appraisal. The requirements of the ICE Development Objectives, however, must still be met and verified through this process.
What is a Career Appraisal?
The Career Appraisal is a documentary submission with the possibility of an interview. Additional information may be requested in support of the application. ICE strongly advises you maintain a full training record, which will greatly strengthen your submission for Career Appraisal and also for your Professional Review.
All relevant knowledge and experience may count when assessing IPD. This can be obtained when undertaking formal academic education, when employed or when working in a voluntary capacity. Suitable pre-graduation experience from industrial placements and part-time or vacation work may count.
Please note: A Career Appraisal is not a pre-requisite for Technician Membership (TMICE)
How will my experience be assessed?
Your experience will be assessed on an individual basis to determine whether you have the same basic competences as someone who has successfully completed their Initial Professional Development (IPD) via an ICE approved Training Agreement. If your application is approved you will be advised that you can proceed to the Professional Review.
How to apply
Fees
A non refundable fee must be submitted with your application. To find out more about the application fee and other ICE membership fees please visit our fees page.
Key dates and further information
