PrintIPDS Guide - Assessment
When you submit your portfolio for assessment CIPFA will provide an accredited portfolio assessor who will:
- Review and assess your portfolio in detail.
- Interview you to discuss your portfolio and your learning in order to ascertain that the portfolio contains your own work and to discuss your experiences of applying your knowledge and skills in the workplace.
- Write a report that will recommend: either that the portfolio is of a satisfactory standard to support an application for membership of the Institute or that the portfolio requires further work to achieve a satisfactory standard. You will receive a copy of this report.
Portfolio assessments and interviews will be carried out at centres around the country, at pre-arranged times. On receipt of your portfolio CIPFA will inform you of your assessor's name and the arrangements for your assessment and interview.
