CiLCA - Certificate in Local Council Administration

The National Training Strategy has developed a customised qualification for the sector, the Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA). This core skills qualification is awarded to those who submit a portfolio of evidence, within 24 months of registering, demonstrating the skills they have in local council administration.

The 2008 CiLCA portfolio guide

The qualification has recently been revised and re-launched; as from 16 April 2008 all those registering will undertake the new guide (those registering prior to 16 April 2008 will have the choice to complete the new portfolio guide or continue with the previous edition).

Funding for clerks from smaller councils is available via the Bursary Scheme.

CiLCA Fee Structure

Those candidates who have registered prior to 1 April 2008 will be under the existing fee structure of £70 registration and £55 to re-sit regardless of which edition of the portfolio is submitted and how many resits are required to pass.
Anyone registering from 1 April onwards will be under the new fee structure of £150 registration and £115 re-sit.

It is worth noting that it will be the date of registration detailed on the form that will be used to determine which fee structure and/or edition of portfolio guide to be completed.
It is important to note that there is a £5 charge payable to SLCC-CiLCA Management for the return of your completed portfolio.
