IFPRA International Qualification Scheme

Entry by Recognition of Experience

The Federation recognises that career development in the Parks and Recreation industry may be based upon experience, rather than qualifications. Candidates seeking to entry the Federation’s Qualification Scheme, who have not previously acquired appropriate academic qualifications may apply for entry by recognition of prior experience.

The eligibility of Candidates who do not hold relevant professional qualifications for entry in the IFPRA Qualification Scheme will be assessed on the candidate’s prior experience. In the case of the Level I Award, this should suggest a good understanding of the Park and Recreation industry in the country of employment. In the case of the (Dip) Award, managerial ability at a senior level in the country of employment is expected.

Recognition of Prior Experience will take account of:

  • the candidate’s present job responsibilities
  • the candidate’s overall length of service in the industry
  • any relevant awards
  • the candidate’s commitment to professional development

Assessment will be made from the information contained on the Candidate’s Statement of Entry Requirements. If necessary, further information may be requested.
