C&G Level 5 Award for Professional Recognition

Contact Hours perweek

Mandatory Additional Study

Additional study is mandatory within the candidates workplace to enable completion of the six standards and gathering of evidence for a completed portfolio  

Personal Study

Personal study is guided by the availability of the candidates free time within the work environment and used to source work practice documentary evidence

Entry requirements for Professional Recognition Award Level 5 (Affiliateship):

• Have experience of Line Management responsibilities and an ability to understand and practise a technical or professional activity
• Have current occupational currency with the ability to demonstrate achievement of a range of pre-defined personal skills and specific competencies

There is a clear line of progression for learners to follow, from Level 4 to Level 7.

At each level evidence is assessed against six standards:

• Commitment to Professional Standards
• Communication and Information Management
• Leadership
• Professional Development
• Working with Others

Successful candidates receive two awards; an accredited qualification, regulated and recognised by Ofqual in England & Northern Ireland.

To achieve a Professional Recognition Award the candidate must provide evidence of their competency for each standard which is assessed by an approved centre & then verified by City & Guilds experts.

Successful candidates are also granted appropriate post nominals (LCGI, AfCGI, GCGI or MCGI). A piece of evidence may be used to cover more than one of the standards. The standards can be met collectively and holistically, rather than one by one.
