The IFoA’s new Practising Certificates (PC) Scheme comes into effect on 1 December. It introduces more flexibility into the process for applicants and takes a more proportionate approach, with less focus on the annual renewal process.
The new approach moves to a competency-based criteria, promoting a more effective, fair and inclusive process for members looking to obtain and retain a PC.

The format of the UK Practice Modules (UKPM) is changing to an online workshop. The updated resources will be available from 1 December and further detail can be found at bit.ly/3S6uq1F
