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.
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.
Before completing the form you might find it useful to pre-prepare your Engagement and Personal statements to make sure you have the appropriate word counts (Engagement statement = 250 – 500 words, Personal statement = 500-800 words) and that there are no spelling mistakes – but also proof read to make sure that they make sense too. Also make sure that you have agreement from your sponsor.
If you are already a member of CIEEM or have a MyCIEEM login then using the “MyCIEEM” button go to your My Memberships area.
If you are new to CIEEM and do not have a login for the MyCIEEM portal then please create your user and then navigate back to this page to use the link below.
Complete our simple online application form
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.
If you have difficulties with the online application form then please contact the membership team.
What does it cost?
CIEEM’s subscription year runs from 1st October annually. Please visit the ‘Membership Fees’ page for current subscription and application fees.
