Qualifications

[brawburd]

What's the protocol for abbreviating your qualifications after your name?  Is there a particular order and what do you include?  Thanks.

*GAB* brawburd. I don't know officially, but I've always been lead to believe that you put the lowest qualification first (after your name). They then get progressively better. For instance, if I become a Bachelor of Arts and then do a MA and then a Ph.D., I would write my name as: Miss Sabrina Screwball-Ballsack BA MA Ph.D

As far as I know, you do not put full stops between the letters (except for the essential one in Ph.D).

surely if you had a Ph.D it would be Dr Sabrina...

I don't know about qualifications. but apparently if you've been awarded the Victoria Cross that is the highest on the pecking order and always goes first after your name.

as for academic qualification I think if you've got a Ph.D or an MA you don't put BA as it's assumed that you've already got a BA to get your doctorate.

your degree qualification is then followed by any professional qualifications e.g fellow of royal institue of chartered surveyors (FRICS) etc
