Introduction to Fellowship

 
 

Fellowship is the highest level of professional qualification awarded by the Chartered Institute that recognises a high level of personal commitment and achievement.

It allows you to add the letters FCLIP after your name. This stands for Chartered Fellow of CILIP (CILIP Byelaws, Section 3, Professional Qualifications, No.15).

Fellows may continue to Revalidate their award.

"The reason why I applied for Fellowship was that I wanted to realise my full potential. To be a successful information professional today we must learn to be an attractive proposition so that potential employers or clients just cannot resist."
