Education and qualifications
We welcome all new members as Affiliate
Members. This means that everyone has immediate access to all the
benefits of membership. Moving to another
category of membership depends on your experience, qualifications
and, of course, your goals.
For our Technician and Graduate Members, we accredit national
and international qualifications at level 3 and degree level
respectively, as defined by the UK National Qualifications
Framework. With over 35 accredited qualifications on offer, members
can choose from a broad range of courses at various institutions to
help them progress through our membership
structure.
We may also accept degree-level qualifications that are not
accredited but do reach our standards, in terms of health and
safety content for Graduate membership. It's by using this clear
and transparent criteria that we can be sure our members are part
of a membership structure with integrity.
