Everyone who wants to become a professionally qualified member must satisfy the requirements of the 3 stages to membership, whether they are UK or non-UK based:
The criteria for each stage is different depending on which grade of membership is sought. There are also different ways (routes) a potential member may complete each stage. There is great flexibility in how these can be achieved and a lack of a formal academic qualification does not necessarily prevent you from applying for Membership. Our Route Selector can help you to determine the most appropriate route for you.
If you are a current member of another professional institution, please go to Agreements with Other Institutions, where you may find that you are eligible to apply for membership via agreements in place with certain professional institutions.
As well as being able to qualify into a membership grade directly, it is also possible to progress from one grade of membership to another.
