 if you think along the lines of how much QDOS is held by a chartered accountant, or a chartered architect, or chartered surveyor, we're all familiar with those words but we're not familiar with chartered physicists, but it acts in exactly the same way. It shows that you have passed through a process which has agreed with you that you've reached a certain professional standard, and then you can call yourself a career professional as opposed to just holding a physics degree. We recently introduced an online application system for CFIS and this replaces the old paper application system. The aim is to really reduce the physical barriers to entry by simplifying the process, by making it clear what information needs to be provided at each stage. I think the chartered physicist accreditation in my career has helped me yn ymdredd下來 sy'n mynd i'w dyl eu bod yn unrhyw i'w ddarwhaith eu gofal a wneud uchryd eich heb y wneud i'w ddechrau Canoliaethau i wneud i'w ddweud i gwerthu ffrwng ac i wneud i mewn cyfnod ac i wneud i'w ddweud i wneud mynd i'w ddechrau ni i wneud i weithmell ac yn ei wneud i'w ddweud yn rhaid i'w dechrau mae'n eu wneud i weith mewn cyfnod sy'n gwneud y bwysig, a fydd yn ymweld a cynlluniau a'ch anodaniaeth o bwysig.

The majority of the benefits of achieving chartered physicist status are intangible. They really help you with your own career development in that thinking about your own skills, your own gaps and how you're going to address those really helps bring your own development to the fore. You are also signing up to a code of conduct stating that you'll maintain your professional development and it's something that we will ask you to revalidate every three years. So this ensures that you're really at the forefront of physics knowledge and keeping that up to date. It shows that you are of the highest standard of professionalism. It is time consuming and it can be difficult to get the application and make sure that you have the set competencies. But it's reassuringly difficult. It's supposed to show how good you are. It's provided me with jobs which are very complex and can be highly pressurised and are very important roles. And I don't think I would have ever gotten that without those accreditations, without working hard to get them. You can email or call the Institute of Physics and they will give advice on various aspects of your application. You can go on a mentoring scheme if you feel that you would like help filling in the application form. Because I say it can look a bit daunting when you look at it at first and somebody who's already done it can talk you through it. Give you a little bit of confidence that what you're doing is right. It's a bit like having your passport application checked at the post office before you send it off. And then when the application goes through you can put it through knowing that somebody has looked at it before the people who are actually going to be judging it have seen it. I think that looking at your competencies using the competency list from the IOP website will allow you to look at areas that you're weak that you might need to push forward. And literally look at the tasks and the activities you do in your career and work out whether it's a significant responsibility and whether you've done it for an extended period of time. And I think if you can think about those tasks and say yes I believe this to be responsible of a high level and I think it's been done over an extended period of time then I think you're ready to go.
