Synopsis

The Geological Society of London is the recognised UK professional body for Geoscientists and was established with the aim of providing lifelong professional support to geoscientists and assuring high professional standards for the benefit of society. It awards the title of Chartered Geologist (CGeol) to competent professionals and is also licensed by the Science Council to award the title of Chartered Scientist (CSci). In recent years there has been increased recognition of the CGeol qualification in Hong Kong and it now the de facto professional standard by which local geologists working in the construction sector are measured.

This sharing session is aimed at early career geologists and will provide an overview of the Chartership system, what it is, why it’s worth pursuing and what’s required in order to obtain recognition as a CGeol. In addition to a general overview of these matters, we have also invited a number of experienced scrutineers and recent successful CGeol candidates to share their views and experience on the chartership process during a relaxed, informal discussion session. This session will direct you to the right pathway towards chartership.
