Awarded Title
TentMaster (TM) is a formal title awarded to industry operatives by the Guild Council who can demonstrate their years of exceptional experience, practical or academic knowledge and leadership skills within their specialist field of tensile fabric structure. This is often known as a life experience qualification.
What Is a Life Experience Qualification?
A life experience qualification is just what it sounds like: partially composed of credits earned through previous life and work experience.
Students hoping to obtain a life experience qualification typically have to prepare a detailed portfolio of their work experience which is then reviewed by the guild for credit potential. Sometimes competency tests, which examine a student's knowledge of product, transport, installation and other basic subjects, are also required.
Work credits may be awarded for on-the-job training and certification, documented skills within a particular field, volunteer experience, and more.
The Guild automatically awards the title of TenMaster to those who graduate with M.Eng. (HS-Anhalt, DE) Membrane Structures - Archineer ® M.St. (IMS Bauhaus) Fabric Architecture - TentMaster TM. (Guild of TentMasters).
