Please Note

It is important for applicants to understand that the Association is a non-profit making professional body and not a trading or trade protection organisation. It is equally important that applicants are motivated to seek membership primarily to support the aims of the Association to secure recognition of professional status.

Membership is vested in the individual. It is not awarded to any agency, company, limited or otherwise, or organisation as such, although several persons of any single firm or agency may apply for membership and may be admitted as members individually.
