Introducing the new SKArating Professional Pathway!

Introducing the new SKArating Professional Pathway!

We are delighted to announce changes to the scheme. With these improvements, we aim for high standards, improve the quality and effectiveness of SKArating, and provide greater openness and transparency for users and assessors alike.

The changes being introduced are:

New Competent Professional Pathway

For those looking to explore the scheme in more depth without becoming an assessor, this pathway offers in-depth learning and progression opportunities, helping individuals become more knowledgeable in the SKArating scheme. Please see below to see the new Pathway flow. Registrations are opening to this in November for existing assessors wishing to renew as Competent Professionals. Live training courses for Competent Professionals are starting in January and booking will be open imminently.



Enhanced Accreditation Process

Selecting the right pathway for you is now advised through undertaking a competency approach and self-assessment. We support all who wish to upskill and drive sustainable fitout projects whichever pathway they wish to take. Starting with the Competent Professional Accreditation pathway can lead to the Assessor Accreditation pathway following the achievement of the required competencies. The competencies matrix is a great way to plan the various knowledge and experiences needed to develop oneself into a high calibre professional.


New Auditing Process

A streamlined and clear auditing process will soon be introduced—stay tuned for more details!
