WHAT NEXT?
Successful applicants: Successful applicants will receive a formal letter
awarding the Distinction, together with a lapel badge and a certificate under
the Seal of The Society, signed by the President. If you are going to an event
which is also being attended by the President or another senior Officer of The
Society and you would like to have your certificate formally presented,
contact your Regional Organiser and this can be arranged.
Gaining a Distinction, at any level, is a significant achievement and new
Licentiates and Associates are naturally keen to move on to the next stage.
While The Society would wish to encourage this enthusiasm, a word of
caution is necessary. The Associateship is a very big step up from the
Licentiateship and the Fellowship an even bigger, more significant step up
from the Associateship. Too often members rush to apply for the next level,
only to be disappointed. It is far better to take your time, seek advice and
work towards it, gradually developing not only your skills but also your own
personal style.
Unsuccessful applicants: Unfortunately not everyone is successful. If you
do not succeed you will receive feedback from the Chairman giving you the
reasons for the Panel's decision. Whenever possible, if you would like to
discuss your work in more detail, we try to put you in touch with a Panel
member for individual advice and guidance. Everyone, particularly the Panel
members, want you to succeed and will do all they can to help. However, you
should remember that the final choice of work to be submitted should be your
decision. You may make one re-submission at the Licentiateship or the
Associateship level for half the usual application fee; for the Fellowship you
may re-submit to the same category for a reduced fee.
