How to register KTP Associates
As soon as an Associate has accepted the job offer, they should be registered on IFS. Registration is a
multi-stage process:
1. The person at the KB who has Project Manager (PM) permissions initiates the registration
process by providing the name and the personal email address of the Associate on IFS.
2. The Associate will then receive an email from IFS asking them to create an account and provide
EDI information. Completion of the EDI survey is mandatory, and Associates are encouraged to
answer as fully as possible.31
3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Once the email address of the Associate has been verified, the IUK Team assign the Associate to
the relevant project and the project details become available to the Associate, not including the
application.
The Project Manager is then sent an email requesting that they provide the start date and end
date for the Associate which is done via the “projects” section of IFS.
Once this has been done, the supporting KTA is sent a ‘new Associate’ email providing the
Associate details.
