Accreditation
A CIfA Specialist competence matrix – to support applicants who work in museum archaeology – has now been approved and is live on the CIfA website. This means that if you wish to be accredited by CIfA you can now make an application and illustrate it with evidence that demonstrates a level of competency relevant to your particular skills and work experience as a museum archaeologist.
