  • What is the difference between Graduate and Full member?

    For some of our members, learning and development don’t stop after completing university.

    Full membership is designed for individuals who have expanded their knowledge and skills and are applying them at work. A Full member will also be eligible for graduate membership with the graduate basis for chartered membership (GBC).

    You can choose the same referee to complete your Knowledge Statement reference and your Competence Statement reference.
