What is professional registration?
Becoming professionally registered as a Registered Science Technician (RSciTech), recognises your skills and expertise in science, and your commitment to continuous professional development.
It shows employers that you can work to a high standard and are committed to becoming the best scientist you can be. It allows you to stand out from the crowd and support you as you advance in your career. Over the years as you develop more experience and skills, you may also progress to become a Registered Scientist (RSci).
When you become registered, you join a professional body that is licensed by the Science Council to award RSciTech.
