MCIAT Professional Assessment

A flexible and quality assured qualifying process, based on performance and designed to recognise the diversity of Architectural Technology.

Candidates must provide an in-depth critical analysis summarising their knowledge, understanding and application of the construction process with regard to planning, design, construction and use, as well as relating it to professional experience.

This takes the form of a reflective report and refers to challenges and successes encountered whilst working on projects. Applicants also undertake a self-evaluation, highlighting strengths and weaknesses in relation to their area (s) of practice.

The MCIAT Professional Assessment process is based on the key areas of proficiency in designing, managing, practising and developing (self).

Anyone working in or on Architectural Technology, design, practice, component/specialist design, refurbishment, commercial, industrial, residential, healthcare, retail, infrastructure or domestic projects, public/private sectors, academia etc. are welcome to apply. You must be registered as a current Associate or affiliate within the Institute before applying. Further details here.

Applicants must demonstrate a level of skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours in relation to their sphere/s of practice defined with the Professional Standards Framework for Chartered Membership, which covers Stage 1 - Educational Standards, Stage 2 - Practice Standards and Stage 3 - Professional Standards.

Your submitted Professional Assessment application and supporting evidence is assessed via a formal process by a CIAT Member Panel. The Professional Assessment Interview is undertaken by CIAT Interview Assessors. Click here for information on the Interview process.
