This is the start of your career!
The Archaeology Skills Passport will act as a record of practical training during your early career development; as an undergraduate or as a volunteer.
I have sadly suspended sales to Europe, as the automated postal system now just send them back after a month – apologies. Thanks BREXIT.
You can now buy any number of passports and we also ship to North America.
In Australia you can buy here.. The Australian Archaeology Skills Passport | Australian Archaeological Association Inc.
And in Germany : Archäologischer Kompetenz-Pass – ArchaeoPublica
Although the Passport lays out many of the key skills, it is not intended to be exhaustive.
There are many other skills that can be gained and these may be recorded in the Tertiary Skills section and/or the Continual Professional Development (CPD) log. This and the Personal Development Plan (PDP) will aid membership of a suitable professional organisation like the CIfA (Institute for Archaeologists).
Responsibility for training
During training or whilst undertaking a practical course it is your responsibility to ask the appropriate person to sign off and date the relevant skills in your passport.
That could be a supervisor, trainer, site director or course tutor.
In addition, our friends at Past Horizons sell a complementary Data Skill Card set.
The Archaeology Skills Passport is now endorsed by
In addition, All the larger Archaeological Contractors have agreed to accept the Passport as proof of competence and to endorse skills gained while employed.
