Bystander - yes you’re right it is just a proposal but if you watched the webinar on Monday, they plan to introduce it with curriculum 2019. That means there will be very little notice if any at all. There would be no benefit in becoming a fellow. In every European country, the qualification is significantly easier and shorter, there is no need to become a fellow unless employers continue to impose requirements on students to complete the qualification to fellowship. The fellowship is only required for certain specific and specialized roles. Therefore my advice would be to concentrate on your career and life before you get stuck on the ST and SA exams for several years and find that they were not really necessary for your job.
