IoIC Fellowship

Why apply for a Fellowship?

For starters, it brings advantages over and above the standard Member benefits – and not just being able to add the letters FIIC to your name.

“It’s a public, highly respected quality mark,” says IoIC president Suzanne Peck. “As an institute, we value the diversity that professionals with differing backgrounds and abilities bring to the sector and we want to continue to recognise effective contribution.”

Being a Fellow will also open up new opportunities, sharing your expertise and knowledge with other IoIC members at national and regional levels and through mentoring activities.

Eligibility

You must be shaping the strategy, design, delivery or management of IC, or

• Be responsible for a significant portfolio of IC projects or people, or
• Be acknowledged as an expert in a particular IC subject area, or
• Be delivering IC education and training.

You’ll also need to have been involved with the IC sector for at least 10 years and demonstrated a strong commitment to your own personal development.

Applications

• Applications deadline: 30 April and 30 June.
• Fellowships announced: July
• Applications deadline: 30 September
• Fellowships announced: November

If you are not currently an IoIC member you can apply to join as a Certified Member (CIIC) and then apply for Fellowship.

To apply, complete the application form and, if successful at that stage, you may be asked to sit an interview panel to verify your experience and commitment to internal communication.
