Can Practitioner accreditation count towards or be allocated to elements of Expert accreditation, so that I only need to focus on a reduced subset of the Professional Standards?

No, in this respect Practitioner is not integrated into Expert, in that satisfying Practitioner implies that a portion of Expert has now been fulfilled. The Expert Standards have their own performance criteria that must be satisfied across all Standards in order to gain accreditation at that level.

As such, receiving Achieved at Practitioner does not mean Expert criteria have also been met.
