Go to part II

Introduction

​

The IBMS Certificate of Achievement is for biomedical science support staff working in laboratory services and is designed to reflect both the employer's and individual's training needs.

​

The IBMS Certificate of Achievement portfolios (part I and part II) are a collection of knowledge and skill requirements that demonstrate practice to the level and standard expected of a band 2 or 3 Assistant Practitioner or band 4 Associate Practitioner.

 

​

Part I

​

To be eligible for this award you must complete all 12 core modules below and at least 2 modules from the optional modules (you may do more than 2 optional modules).

​

Please remember that the following elements within the portfolio (for each module) needs to be signed by both the trainee and trainer:

​

• Evidence pieces

• Performance indicators 

 

The line manager’s comments box must be completed after all the above have been signed for each module – this indicates that the trainee has the necessary skills and knowledge (i.e. competence).

​

Once the portfolio has been completed the laboratory manager completes the declaration of completion form (only this element of the portfolio is to be sent back to the IBMS) - the candidate will then be issued with the Certificate of Achievement part I.
