Job Roles

Professionals follow a code of ethics while performing

activities in accordance with defined standards of practice

Responsibility for groups of activities are assigned to job

roles. A career path is a progression of job roles of increasing responsibility

The ability to perform activities requires a

combination of knowledge and skills (ie comptetency)

Knowledge is organized into a Body of Knowledge which

is taught through preparatory education delivered by an accredited program which

delivers a defined curriulum.

Skills to apply the knowledge to accomplish tasks are

acquired through professional development

including on-the-job experience and training.

Certification certifies that individuals have defined

competencies. Licensing extends certification to

include active oversight of the profession including

disciplinary action.
