What do you have to do to gain a MIfA? It's easier to get an OBE
#17
As Gilrean says... back to topic.


For information, you can download the procedural guidelines of the Validation committee here and the Membership Appeals committee by clicking on the links. so there is a transparent process and an appeal

There should also be absolute criteria - to become a MIfA you need this this and this ( Applicants Handbook)

Initiate, negotiate, carry out and/or delegate, and bring pieces of work to a conclusion.

Members are in charge of organising and running large, complex projects from beginning to end, or in highly skilled, specialist work.

Members (MIfAs) also

  • have authoritative knowledge and depth of understanding of the sector and their area of historic environment practice
  • take full responsibility for their own work and that of others where applicable
  • deal with complex situations holistically and demonstrate confident decision making
  • have a high level of understanding of the overall ‘picture’ and see alternative approaches and how they might be tackled


So in a nut shell...


  1. you will have to have a proven track record that is verifiable in starting a project - running a project and completing a project to everyones satisfaction.
  2. you will be able to demonstrate you have the relevant skills and experience for whatever area of competence you have -
  3. you will be able to list all the work you have done to support this particular application
  4. you will provide a list of all the publications or examples of work that show a growing corpus of evidence that you are good at what you do and you do it more and more.

The IfA recognise that some roles do not generate substantial pieces of written work, in which case comprehensive accounts in your statement of competence, your referees’ reports, job descriptions and other documents will be critical.


You also need to supply a CPD log and PDP

So... if you have these and good referees. then you should be ok.


Without knowing the specifics, then it is impossible to comment on a particular case. The Validation committee are not ones to turn people down for no reason.

If Coo would contact me in confidence offline... and tell me the reason for refusal, then it may be easier to discuss. but in general. MIfA is based on producing the relevant material.


Of course there is a trouble with what MIfA is in the world... I am a MIfA - not because I can manage projects ( that was my previous MIfA ) but because I was an illustrator so go figure? But that is another debate.
