Professional Recognition

Assessment process

The assessment of these two levels is based upon qualifications, professional experience, and a points system, where the applicant will need to provide evidence to the MSA’s peer review panel. The panel will then review the evidence provided, ensuring that it meets or exceeds a level of skill and experience stated.

There are two levels of recognition: Professional Metrologist and Principal Metrologist, where a Principal Metrologist is intended for leaders in the field and has a higher points qualification level.

Fees

The application will have two fees. An initial fee of $150.00 which will cover two years of MSA-PMP recognition. Thereafter, a fee of $100.00 paid every two years as part of a review process. This is in addition to the MSA membership fee – the MSA-PMP awardee must remain a member of the MSA while they maintain the recognition.

Note that the fees are only payable upon acceptance into the programme: an invoice will be sent to successful applicants with payment details.

Recognition

Upon successful completion, a certificate of professional recognition will be issued to the applicant by the peer review panel.

Summary

Further details about the process are described as part of the MSA-PMP application form.
