Hi all, I am looking for some advice/thoughts regarding my suitability under this category and the best approach under the educational points section.
Quick background -
Born and lived my whole life in the UK (english is my first language)
Now 38 years old
Obtained a BA (hons) degree (3 year course) majoring in Geography
On finishing university began working in the Financial Services sector, so not using my degree for this.
Started working in internal audit in 2001 and completed Internal Audit exams (PIIA - over 2 years) in 2003.
Moved from Internal Audit to Risk Management in 2008 (still financial services) but let my professional accreditation lapse.
Have since completed a 1 year International Compliance Dimploma and am still working in Risk Management.
My questions are:
Do you think I would qualify under the 0111 category either through my Audit and/or Risk roles? In both cases my grade within the company was a management grade but my job titles were Senior Internal Auditor and Risk Management Specialist.
Does it matter that my degree is not in the same field as my work experience? If it is allowed, at 21 points I believe I would be on 78 points in total.
Is it worth reinstating my IIA membership? This would require a substancial payment in back fees.[/list]
Any thoughts gratefully received!
