Licentiateship (LCGI)
Qualifying for a Licentiateship award could not be easier, and once qualified, you will be fully recognized at the level of Master Craftsman in Europe and towards the level of National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 4.
The Licentiateship is suitable for team supervisors and those at first line management level. This award recognizes five years of professional development, after achieving a level 3 qualification.
To qualify, you will need:
- a level 3 pass
- a further career qualification
- five years’ experience at supervisory or first line management level subsequent to your level 3 pass
Each route to LCGI has specific qualification criteria, details of which are available from the Senior Awards Administrator, Patrick Sherlock. As a minimum requirement, applicants must hold a level 3 qualification (e.g. NVQ level 3, City & Guilds Advanced Craft, BTEC National Diploma). Career extension evidence may take the form of a further qualification (e.g. NEBS Management Certificate/ILM Full Management Certificate, or City & Guilds Further and Adult Education Teachers Certificate), and confirmation of satisfactory performance in a supervisory or managerial role for applicants over 26 years of age.
Please note that photocopies of all relevant certificates should be submitted with the application form.
Applicants must provide evidence that they have performed competently in a relevant work environment. Achievements may take the form of an industrial qualification (e.g. an industry-recognised apprenticeship) or confirmation from a current or recent employer of at least five years' relevant employment, on headed paper.
However, for those who do not have a recognized level 3 success in their specialized vocational field there is the portfolio approach to the Licentiateship award.
