How long is my MIA Membership valid for?
MIA Membership is valid for 1 year from the date of purchase which can be renewed 2 months prior to expiry.
What additional training is required?
There area minimum of five training categories for tier 1. Please see the tier document for further guidance.
How often do I need to update the training? Card holders need to re-validate their card on an annual basis by demonstrating continuing professional development (CPD). This can be done via the document uploader or online exams. Certain courses (ie, theatre access) are expected to be retaken every two years.
How do I submit internal training and what do you require? When submitting information a short statement including name of training and date completed is all that is needed. Detail records/certificates should be maintained for possible audit purposes.
What is accredited training?
Training by accredited bodies includes that of EduQual, AfPP and the CPD Certification Service
Overseas registrants can apply and use their own documentation as appropriate (ie, if required, non-UK criminal record checks will be considered)
I’ve lost my card, what do I need to do?
In the first instance you should let your training manager/HR manager know so that they can inform us to issue you a new card. We should be able to reissue a new card to you within 10 working days.
If a new card is needed urgently, we may be able to provide you with an electronic version to use. Please note that the cost of a replacement LSI National Credentialing Register card is £30 plus VAT.
Once your account has been set up/transferred and you have supplied/taken the relevant training along with a photo for your ID card we will post your card to your head office address within 10 working days.
What is tier X and how do I get onto tier 1, 2 or 3?
Members who currently do not meet the LSI National Credentialing Register standards will be identified by the Register at tier X, which demonstrates they are working towards meeting Register standards.
A new card will be issued, and they will have to meet the LSI National Credentialing Register’s tier requirements within 12 months. Once the tier requirements have been met, the cardholder will be issued with a new card displaying their tier status.
Once you have met the standards required for the LSI National Credentialing Register you will be able to easily submit for approval via this website. This may mean checking that all your training requirements are up to date. (It is up to each individual to decide which tier is relevant for them in their role, and for training managers (or equivalents) to deem what is appropriate by way of product training.)
How does the audit process work?
Three per cent of registrants will be selected every year by the AHCS for audit. Members may need to provide documentation of their qualifications, etc.
How do I transfer my account over to a new company?
You will need to have received permission from your Training Manager/HR manager to transfer your account to your new company.
Home and employer address, date of birth, country of birth, nationality and monitoring information (in line with equality and diversity monitoring).
Why do I need to supply a home address?
Home address is recorded in case there is ever an official complaint. This is to ensure that if the registrant has left the original company, the AHCS could still make contact to resolve.
How do I update my profile with my credentials?
The process is simple - you can upload your documents onto your profile by clicking here.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS):
A copy of your certificate (scan or photo) - basic, standard or enhanced.
