The new Full membership standard is almost ready for launch, and members have an opportunity to help road test the application and assessment method and receive free upgrade support.
From the spring, members will be able to upgrade to Full membership (MIEMA) – the gold standard for environment and sustainability professionals – through a new standard.
The standard was refreshed as part of the institute’s member level review, which started in 2013. It offers members from a sustainability background the chance to have their expertise and experience recognised to Full level, and updated to ensure environmental management principles continue to be suitably celebrated and protected.
IEMA is now perfecting the application and assessment elements of upgrading to MIEMA. To help to finalise the process, Associate and Practitioner members have been offered the opportunity to help test it. Those who sign up to the pilot can take advantage of a support package to help members to achieve their goal. The package includes all the tools, guidance and feedback required to successfully upgrade.
IEMA is offering 25 free upgrade support programme places a month in February, March and April on a first come, first served basis. The programme is usually priced at £50 but is free to members who take part in testing the new MIEMA process.
To find out more and apply to upgrade via the road test, go to iema.net/full-upgrade.
