Our experienced Chartered Fellows uphold professional standards across a broad spectrum of Earth science disciplines.
Assessors are a key part of the Chartership process as they review applications, recommend Fellows for Chartership and make the decision to proceed to interview stage.
The Assessors will determine if candidates have the necessary geoscience/science knowledge and Chartership competencies, including demonstrationg the use of these competencies in the design and execution of projects and problem solving.
This includes reviewing applications, interviewing candidates and recommending them for Chartership or postponing applications.
Chartership application deadlines are four times a year and the Chartership Officer assigns the Assessors in pairs to each candidate.
Most Assessors aim to commit to one review per year, or as many as you are willing to undertake. On average, the time taken to carry out an application review is ~8-10 hours including the evaluation of documents, completion of review forms and the online interview itself.
The validation interviews are generally carried out online and the Assessors pass their recommendation to the Professional and Chartership Committee via the Chartership Officer.
We are always looking for new Assessors to join our panel and also invite Assessors from overseas to ensure we find appropriate matches for our different applicants. Our interviews are mostly carried out online meaning they are now worldwide.
