How do I join?
Becoming a Qualifying member is easy. All you need to do is complete our online application form below and tell us a little bit about yourself, how you’re involved in the sector, and what plans you have to develop your experience, competence and career in the next few years.
Complete our simple application form
Our helpful Qualifying Membership Application Guidance will talk you through the form and what’s required.
You might also find it useful to download our Competency Framework and access our Competency Framework online self-assessment tool.
As a Qualifying member you’ll get four whole years to gradually gain and submit evidence of competence as your progress towards the next grade of membership.
Qualifying membership is designed to support those at the very earliest stages of their career in the sector, so if you’re working at a higher level then you’ll find Associate or Full membership a much better fit for your professional needs.
