Chartered Scientist
The Chartered Scientist qualification is awarded to scientists who meet the high standards required and demands a commitment to continuing professional development. It is intended to ensure high and improving standards across all scientific disciplines and reflects best practice in science.
Chartered Scientist status is aimed at those practicing science at the full professional level and at those for whom scientific knowledge or practice at that level form an essential element in the fulfilment of their role.
Chartered Scientist status provides valuable professional recognition among fellow scientists across all disciplines and the wider community. It demonstrates high levels of experience and competence to employers, other professionals, and, ultimately, providing reassurance to the consumer that high standards are being met. It is now a recognised title under the EU Directive 89/48/EC.
Why?
- Being chartered is the mark of professional recognition. Being a Chartered Scientist allows all scientists working at the full professional level to be recognised on an equal footing.
- It gives an assurance of current competence through mandatory revalidation, and encapsulates the interdisciplinary nature of science in the 21st Century.
- By benchmarking professional scientists at the same high level, CSci aims to re-engage public trust and confidence in Science and scientists.
Who?
- All those working in the practice, application, advancement or teaching of science can become CSci with the appropriate combination of qualifications and experience.
- Chartered Scientists work in an ever growing, diversity of settings, from food science to environmental waste management, health psychology to nuclear physics, and mathematical modelling to chemical engineering.
What?
- Applicants must demonstrate various competencies including the ability to deal with complex issues and communicate their conclusions to a range of audiences
- They show originality in problem solving and substantial autonomy in planning and implementing tasks
- Through a commitment to continuing professional development, Chartered Scientists will continue to advance their knowledge, understanding and competence throughout their career.

- Accredited prior learning, such as the IBD Master Brewer qualification.
- Portfolios, and
- assessed scientific and technical reports (including published peer-reviewed papers)
Which individually, or in combination, are to M-Level.

A love of pubs prompted Peter to give up a career in explosives to become a beer historian. A five year stint running the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) resulted in the success of the Society's long-running campaign for Progressive Beer Duty, and, job done, Peter left to join Meantime Brewing in 2002. Having done just about every job in the brewery Peter saw an opportunity to get more hands on when his local brewery was left minus a brewer, and in January 2011 he resumed his self-employed status brewing at the Florence in Herne Hill, South London.

It was this time spent closely working with the remaining 'old worthies' in Scotland's distilleries that a passion for 'distilled' barley became one of 'brewed' barely... Roles in beer soon followed and Nick has worked closely with some of the most renowned brewers on the European continent namely Czech Republic's Budweiser Budvar and Germany's Warsteiner.

Carolina qualified as a wine sommelier with Norsk Sommelier Utdannelse back in 2010 and has now brought her passion for wine and food pairing to the Norwegian beer market. Given the challenge of launching Strøm's craft beer portfolio in 2012 and not just happy with 'fish and chips and lager' Carolina is determined to bridge the gap that exists between beer and wine. ' The wine people are far ahead and we need to demand just as high level of knowledge and insight when it comes to working our beer and food pairings.' she says and given that Carolina has successfully completed both wine and beer sommelier education places her in a unique position of insight to both categories. She has launched her 'gastro' oriented approach to the beer market in Norway with the successful establishment of Gotland's Bryggeri (Sweden) and Coisbo (Denmark) as the new beers of choice among the culinary fraternity in Oslo. Motivated by the response to this approach so far she is actively seeking out the best culinary beers the world has to offer!
