Membership benefit: gain a professional qualification
Those letters after a CICES member’s name are more than just a sign of a qualification.
They represent a marker that you’ve demonstrated a higher standard, in terms of professional expertise, experience, competence, ethics and commercial sense.
And by demonstrating these standards, you can increase employer buy-in, client confidence and demand for your services.
In this way, you’re taking a professional qualification out of the academic sphere and applying it to gain a competitive advantage in the real world.
Upskilling teams
If you’re an employer, encouraging your team members to gain a professional qualification with CICES also gives them access to a number of other benefits, such as:
- Technical guides and standards
- Regular sector leading publications
- CPD and training resources
- Webinars with industry experts
- In person events and seminars
By empowering your staff to become more highly qualified, you can boost their confidence alongside their competence.
And if you’re offering such employee benefits to existing team members, this can help attract future talent too.
A benchmark of competence
CICES Council of Management member Bernice Cowton FCInstCES explains the value of the qualification from her point-of-view:
‘Achieving professionally recognised qualifications through CICES has been pivotal, both in affirming my own expertise and also in elevating the standard of practice across the teams I work with.
‘The post-nominals are more than just letters — they represent a benchmark of competence, integrity and commitment to excellence.
‘For those looking to progress in their careers, especially in an increasingly competitive industry, gaining such recognition provides credibility with clients and confidence within project teams.
‘It’s a mark of trust — and that’s invaluable.’
