During 2021 and into 2022 ICE is launching clearer and smoother pathways to achieving a professional qualification

For information on what the changes mean for candidates seeking professional qualification, and those supporting them towards that goal, you can access detailed guidance through the tile below that is relevant to you.

When you select the relevant tile you will see dropdown lists for advice that contains:

Guidance for those who have completed IPD or who are completing it in 2021, and who aim to undertake a Professional Review in 2021
Guidance for those whose IPD is ongoing, and for those who have not yet started it, and are seeking to undertake a Professional Review from 2022 onwards

Please ensure that you select the relevant information depending on when you plan to undertake and complete IPD, when you make an application for or will sit your Professional Review, or, on who you are supporting towards their goal.
