Becoming a SFIA Accredited ConsultantSummaryThis process is for the accreditation of individual consultants. Organisations seeking accreditation should use the Accredited Partner process. Importantly, the scheme also includes a light regime of checking (by CV) that candidates appear to have the appropriate background experience to advise on how skills are managed in an organisation. This is considered as a strategic issue; it is not just a matter of writing job descriptions and assessing people. Accreditation is only available to those who can demonstrate:
SFIA Accredited Consultants can advertise themselves as such, using the official SFIA logo. They can optionally be registered on the SFIA we site. DetailsThe three elements of accreditation are: BE ASSESSED 1. Make out a cheque for £100 + VAT = £117.50 to The SFIA Foundation and post it to: The Operations Manager SFIA Foundation 21 Hamsey Lane Seaford East Sussex BN25 4DW This fee is non-returnable. 2. Send an email to ops@sfia.org.uk, attaching your CV. 3. When the cheque has been received, the CV will be assessed by staff in the Member Organisations of the Foundation. Their decision will be conveyed to you by the Operations Manager. ATTEND THE COURSE Book a place on the one-day course Understanding SFIA. You may do this straight away, or wait for the result of your assessment. The course is run by The SFIA Foundation’s officially appointed trainers. Note that payment for this course is made as described in the booking information for SFIA Training, and not to The SFIA Foundation. Accreditation BE LISTED Having achieved accreditation, you will be asked if you wish to have a listing on the SFIA web site. If so, you will need to make out a cheque to The SFIA Foundation for £200 + VAT = £235.00, and post it to: The Operations Manager SFIA Foundation 21 Hamsey Lane Seaford East Sussex BN25 4DW Once your details have been listed, the current year’s listing fee is non-returnable. Conditions Your status as a SFIA Accredited Consultant does not permit you to distribute copies of SFIA. When your clients decide to use SFIA, they must obtain the framework directly from The SFIA Foundation. This involves on-line registration and the issue to them of an end-user licence. (There is no charge for the end-user licence when the framework is used internally for skills management.) The Foundation reserves the right to check with you, at some future date (but not within a year of accreditation), whether you have used your knowledge of SFIA and thereby maintained your knowledge, and to withdraw accreditation if you have not. If accreditation is terminated for any reason, you must cease using the SFIA Accredited Consultant appellation, and cease displaying the SFIA logos. The SFIA Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to maintain and distribute The Skills Framework for the Information Age.
