Description
Accreditation of statisticians has been offered by ASA and RSS earlier, and since 2020 by FENStatS.
The purpose of accreditation is to focus on the professionality, development and quality of applied statistical work. We believe that the need for good statistics and good statisticians is increasing and an accreditation programme can provide one tool in this process.
The accreditation summarizes the progress and professionality of the applicant. It is a career path for especially applied statistians that adds value to the universiy exam.
An applicant shall provide proof of:
A - Education, minimum a MSc according to Bologna process
B - Experience, minimum 5 years work experience
C - Development, ongoing professional development
D - Communication, samples of work done
E - Ethics, knowledge and adherence to relevant ethical standards
F - Membership in a FENStatS member association
FENStatS provides, in cooperation with its member organisation, a standardised system for accreditation that is valid in all its member area. Currently, accreditation is availible for by members in Austria, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
FENStatS accreditation is also mutually recognisied with ASA, PStat(R).
Further information about FENStatS accreditation can be found at: www.fenstats.eu. Applications are submitted through the application portal at the same page.
