Training
The nature of the Associate’s existing academic qualifications and their work as a KTP Associate
entitles most Associates to become a member of the professional institution most relevant to their
specialism. For example, engineers will be able to join one of the engineering institutions (such as
the Institution of Mechanical Engineers), physicists can join the Institute of Physics, marketers can
join the Institute of Marketing and IT specialists can join the British Computer Society.
Associates are encouraged to join the professional institution most appropriate to them. This will
open up networking and educational opportunities as well as enabling Associates to start on the path
of gaining professional recognition as, for example, a chartered engineer. Such recognition usually
requires proof of knowledge and professional experience.
The experience Associates gain by working on their project can count towards the professional
experience requirement.
