This page is a mess. The main lists are not alphabetic, nor are they sorted into lists of awards from alphabetical institutions. Also, some of these awards need checking as they seem to be a mix of chartered and associate grades.

Suggestion:

I will try to sort these lists into strict alphabetical order
We need to get a grip on which are chartered / professional grades and which are associate grades. Perhaps a list of those titles with the word 'Chartered' in them; another list with those containing 'Member' or equivalent? There may be some exceptions / problems with this, but these can be discussed.

The list is now sorted AFAICT. I would suggest restructuring:

Chartered titles
Grades requiring degrees
Grades not requiring degrees

Any other takers?

I think the mix of Chartered and Associate is due to the different titles, rather than an actual difference of grades - they are qeuivalent under the EU regulations. (Edit by User:192.33.116.41)

I think this needs a fresh clean-up/re-organisation...Mdcollins1984 09:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going through and aligning this with what is on the EU regulations database, and the levels on there. A lot of 'associate' grades are actually just memberships, not professional qualifications, and should be deleted. Robminchin (talk) 20:17, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page Name[edit]

Shouldn't this be called "List of ...."? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cpdo (talk • contribs) 09:05, 26 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Qualified Teacher Status[edit]

Shouldn't teaching be included on this list, notably Qualified Teacher Status which is a professional qualification usually associated with a degree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.83.113.194 (talk) 15:20, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say yes, it's certainly a regulated profession that requires a professional qualification to practice (at least in state schools). Go ahead and add it! Robminchin (talk) 13:04, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
