Becoming an individual member
Our membership structure is designed to achieve a number of crucial goals:
- To enable our members to assure to the industry that their skills, knowledge and experience remain relevant and credible
- To create an opportunity for our members to acquire additional skills and knowledge
- To offer a range of membership options to all Designers in the industry, at a level proportionate to their needs
It is important to stress that the higher levels of membership are not necessarily essential. We have created the structure to give you more options proportionate to your need to demonstrate relevant skills, knowledge and experience.
