Throughout the IfA ''Code of conduct'' there runs a requirement for practitioners to maintain and be aware of their levels of knowledge and skill. Without such maintenance and awareness, archaeologists cannot hope to uphold the principles and adhere to the rules laid down in the Code. The IfA sees Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a principal means of sustaining and developing archaeologists, the profession of archaeology and standards, and so IfA is committed to CPD as a means of securing good practice and high standards amongst its members. Both new applicants for membership and existing members are expected to undertake at least 50 hours CPD in any two-year period and CPD is madatory for corporate members. The CPD pages of the IfA web site can be found at: [http://www.archaeologists.net/development/cpd]

Since April 2004 it has been a condition of English Heritage and Historic Scotland grant funded building repair projects that the lead professionals should be accredited in conservation. This requirement follows concerns at Historic Scotland in relation to the quality of grant-aided works, which led first to a commitment in the 1998 Historic Buildings Council for Scotland’s Annual Report that “within 3 to 5 years” lead professionals should be accredited. English Heritage then gave a parallel commitment to accreditation at the IHBC 2001 Annual School in London.
