Application Documents

All applicants will need to download the first four documents below.

You will also require to download one of the subsequent Specific Competences tables which have been completed and provided by the relevant professional bodies.  These represent the Appendix ONE document annotated to include comments as to where and how the necessary competences might be attained for that specific modality/sub-modality. These are provided to assist applicants in completing the Appendix ONE and submitting their application to ACS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE DOCUMENTS WERE UPDATED 1ST AUGUST 2009 AND CAME INTO IMMEDIATE EFFECT.  THE OLD APPLICATION FORMS AND DOCUMENTS ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE.

THE APPENDIX ONE "GENERIC COMPETENCES" DOCUMENT CONTAINS A REVISED MAPPING AGAINST THE HPC STANDARDS AND A REVISION OF THE TITLE OF THE "MANAGEMENT" COMPETENCES TO "PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY" TO MORE ACURATELY REFLECT ITS INTENTION.  HOWEVER, THE CHANGES ARE FOR ACCURACY FOLLOWING HPC UPDATES AND NONE OF THE ACTUAL COMPETENCES HAVE CHANGED SO THAT CANDIDATES ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS FORM.
