  2. Qualification and experience assessment

    Once you’ve sent us the relevant documents, we’ll assess your qualifications and work experience to match you to your next member grade. We’ll get in touch to confirm your grade and arrange payment of your first annual fee.

How to extend your Student membership

If you’re extending your qualification, please email us an official confirmation from your qualification provider. This needs to include the new end date. We can then extend your Student membership.

If you choose not to progress, your membership ends three months after your qualification finishes.
