Education and development
Helping members gain further practical experience
Our Qualifications:
Certificate of Anatomical Technology and Science (CATS)
Candidates must complete a self-assessment of their duties, followed by a viva voce
assessment in their place of work. The form is easy to complete and in itself is a qualification awarded
by the IAS. It can also be viewed as a starting point for the IAS Diploma. This award is open
to all IAS members.
Diploma of Anatomical Technology and Science (DATS)
The Diploma is a qualification for technical staff that is intended to be achieved alongside the duties in their workplace. This is a more in-depth qualification than the certificate, allowing candidates to develop theoretical, practical and technical experience associated with anatomy and its related subjects. This award is open to all IAS members.
