The IHBC has launched its new accredited membership category, IHBC Associates, aimed at helping built and historic environment conservation practitioners progress more easily towards full accredited membership of the IHBC by offering conservation accreditation in their specialist area of practice, and available at under \u00a390 a year after tax, at most!<\/span><\/p>\n

IHBC President Trefor Thorpe said: I\u2019m delighted that, in the final year of my extended Presidency of the IHBC I\u2019m able to \u2018see in\u2019 the introduction of this critical new support strategy for our own Affiliates, and for the wider sector as a whole.\u00a0 It\u2019s been some years in development, as you\u2019ll appreciate.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Given the dramatic reductions in public sector support for conservation skills and the need for individuals to take firm control of their careers and professional credentials, this is a timely development to help make sure they are practitioners for the future as well as today, whether as a conservation specialist or simply with the support of verifiable skills in working with traditional buildings.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Chair Mike Brown said: \u2018Credible and accessible accreditation are the hallmarks of the IHBC \u2013 credible because of our conservation-compliant Code of Conduct and our disciplinary processes; and accessible because of the low fees, the financial support we offer, and the wide-range of disciplines that we represent.\u00a0 Now, with specialist accreditation as an Associate of the IHBC on offer, we are extending both credibility and access in one consolidated initiative.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Our new support for the recognition of conservation skills specific to a particular area of practice \u2013 for example in planning, architecture, archaeology, projects and heritage skills etc.<\/em> \u2013 means that we can offer a much more rounded and informed representation from the built and historic environment sector.\u00a0 This way too, our advocacy and educational services as well as our network of interests will all gain the breadth and depth that must always underpin successful interdisciplinary conservation practice.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018And accessibility is also extended as we offer accreditation to practitioners from any background \u2013 provided they address our membership criteria of course.\u00a0 And this accreditation now is undoubtedly the most manageable and accessible way to work towards full accredited membership of the IHBC.’<\/p>\n

\u2018So the gold standard in conservation accreditation is now even more within the reach of the entire community of practitioners and professionals in all areas of conservation and traditional building.\u2019<\/p>\n
