Achievement
You can remain in this grade or, if you want to broaden your knowledge, experience and skills, you could see this as a stepping stone to Registered Membership and Chartered status. Either way, Technical Membership is recognition of a great achievement.

Questions you might have

As the Institute is Chartered, will I become a Chartered member?

Not just yet! You will need to upgrade to Registered Member first.

What do I pay if I upgrade before my membership renewal is due?

If you're already a member and have paid a subscription for the year, we'll work out a pro rata amount to make sure you don't pay twice for the same time period!
