Documentation
Definition
The Professional qualification held indicates if the member of staff holds any professional qualifications.
This is field 19 of the HESA Individualised Staff return.
Note
It is inevitable that the term 'professional qualification' will be open-ended - no organisation has yet managed to compile a complete compendium of such qualifications.
It is recognised that for some staff, a professional qualification, if held, may be more important, up-to-date or relevant than their academic qualification.
Institutions are asked to decide for themselves whether the qualifications of a staff member are "professional". Note that 'membership' of some professional institutions or bodies does not necessarily constitute a professional qualification, but this does not imply that institutions should exclude professional qualifications awarded by peer assessment rather than examination. This field is supplementary to field Highest academic qualification (17).
The same qualification may be regarded as both an academic and a professional qualification where the academic qualification entitles the holder to practice in a particular profession. For example, staff holding an MB ChB and qualified to practice medicine (i.e. registered with the General Medical Council) should be coded as having a first degree in field Highest academic qualification (17) and a professional qualification in field 19. Staff holding a PGCE with QTS (or registered as a school teacher with the General Teaching Council for Scotland) should be coded as having a postgraduate diploma/certificate in field 17 and a professional qualification in field 19.
