Institute's Rules of Association -
Rule 9 Registration of Practitioners
9 REGISTRATION OF PRACTITIONERS
9.1
Register
The
Institute shall establish and maintain a Register of those who have
applied for and satisfied the Institute’s requirements for registration
as a practitioner in Value Management. The Register may include categories of practice considered
appropriate by the Board of Management.
A
current (and dated) copy of the Register shall be made available on
request to any member of the public having a clearly demonstrated need to
identify those whose expertise and experience in a specific category of
the practice of Value Management have been assessed and found acceptable
by the Institute.
Every
issued copy of the Register shall include:
| a) |
a clear description of the criteria and method of assessment used
by the Institute to determine eligibility for Registration;
|
| b) |
a list of all those who have satisfied the Institute’s
requirements for Registration in the category concerned, together with
means of contacting each of them for professional purposes, the date of
their initial registration and the date on which their current
registration is due for renewal;
|
| c) |
the names and contact details of the current members of the
Institute’s Board of Management, to whom the reader may make further
enquiry if desired.
|
At
the discretion of the Board of Management, the Register may also include
(as a separate section) material provided by registrants that sets out the
scope of the registrant’s professional interests and services. Any such additional material shall conform to criteria
established by the Board of Management, and each registrant shall receive
equal opportunity for inclusion of such material. This material shall be clearly identified as provided by the
registrant and therefore not part of what the Institute has assessed to
determine eligiblity for Registration.
Registration
shall be granted for a period of three years at a time and renewal of
registration shall be subject to the applicant satisfying the Institute
that he or she has kept current the required level of expertise and
experience for the category of registration concerned.
Registration
shall be subject to current membership of the Institute at the grade of
Member, Fellow or Honorary Life Fellow, with all membership and
registration fees paid up to date.
9.2
Registered Value Management Facilitator
For
the category of Registered Value
Management Facilitator, which shall carry entitlement to the
additional but temporal post-nominal of RegVMFacil
(may be used only so long as the Registration is kept up to date) an
applicant must:
| a) |
demonstrate to the Institute’s satisfaction:
|
| b) |
provide supporting documentation in the form of a synopsis of studies facilitated, including copies of
appropriate sections of reports, which will be treated as confidential
|
| c) |
be available for interview with
a representative of the Membership Committee
|
| d) |
accept the requirement of submitting,
each three years, evidence of continued participation in VM and evidence
of continuing professional development; and in addition accepting that a
further three-year period of registration may only be granted if the
Institute is satisfied that the evidence demonstrates a maintenance of the
criteria that a new applicant must currently satisfy for Registration;
|
| e) |
desirably provide evidence of facilitation training and
satisfactory completion of formal requirements for certification
|
| f) |
desirably provide copies of
papers published in appropriate journals on subjects relevant to Value Management
and/or facilitation, and also details of presentations made at meetings of
professional bodies over the past three years. |
9.3
Renewal of Registration
Section
9.2 d) provides that, in applying to be a Registered Value Management
Facilitator, the applicant accepts the requirement of making a further
submission to the Institute each three years as a necessary pre-condition
for the grant of a further three-year period of Registration.
In
seeking a further three-year period of Registration, a Registered Value
Management Facilitator shall submit the following for assessment by the
Institute:
| a) |
a documented record demonstrating continuing experience in
facilitating Value Management studies (with
the expectation of approximately 8 within the past three years, involving
a degree of complexity acceptable to the Institute),
|
| b) |
evidence of continuing professional development activities in Value
Management and/or facilitation,
|
| c) |
a re-affirmation to comply with the Institute’s Code of Conduct,
and
|
| d) |
desirably,
copies of papers published in
appropriate journals on subjects relevant to Value Management and/or
facilitation, and also details of presentations made at meetings of
professional bodies over the past three years.
|
In
considering a submission for a further period of Registration, the
Institute may also request the applicant to be available for interview by
a representative(s) of the Membership Committee.
If,
following consideration of a submission, the Institute determines that a
further period of Registration should not be granted, the applicant may ask for the reasons why the Institute
denied further Registration. Such
a request shall be in writing and the Institute’s reply will also be in
writing.
9.4
Certificate of Registration
Every
Registered Practitioner shall be issued with a Certificate of Registration
(separate from the Certificate of Membership) suitable for public display
that testifies to the category of their Registration. It shall show clearly both the date of admission to that category
in the Register and the date on which the Registration is to be renewed.
The
certificate shall be signed by the President and the Chairperson of the
Membership Committee.
Certificates
of Registration remain the property of the Institute and shall therefore
be returned to the Institute if, for any reason the named person ceases to
be eligible for inclusion in that category of Registration.
