Recognition for professional bodies
If your organisation is responsible for recognising or registering professionals in the UK, you may be seeing more applicants with qualifications and experience gained outside the country, we can help.
By partnering with Ecctis, you can use our Industry Skills Statement approach to support fair, consistent and evidence-based recognition decisions. You get the support you need to maintain high professional standards while opening up access to skilled individuals from around the world.

What is an Industry Skills Statement?
An Industry Skills Statement sets out the skills, knowledge and behaviours expected of a competent professional in the UK.
It is developed in consultation with employers, educators and regulatory bodies to reflect the real-world demands of the role.
We use this benchmark to help industry accreditation bodies assess whether overseas-qualified applicants meet the standards expected in the UK. By partnering with Ecctis, you can receive expert, independent advice on how an individual’s international qualification or professional accreditation compares to your own requirements. This helps you make confident, consistent recognition decisions especially when faced with unfamiliar or complex international applications.
For example, if you’re responsible for accrediting engineers, security guards or even farriers, we can help you determine whether an overseas qualification aligns with the training, skills and professional readiness you would expect from a UK-qualified individual.
This reduces the risk of recognising unsuitable or fraudulent qualifications, protects your professional standards and improves access for genuinely qualified individuals.
