Qualified status may be gained through chartership, the completion of professional exams or reaching a required level of competence in your profession. These qualifications usually give you designatory letters after your name.

Check with your professional body - what are the requirements for membership/chartership? Is the course you are considering recognised by the profession/employers as a valid entry route?
