Being an Advanced Member:
What do I need to do?
You will build a portfolio of evidence based on your last three years' experience. Your portfolio will meet certain requirements, as stated in the Standard Operating Procedure. Once completed, it will be peer reviewed by a panel of Advanced Members.
Full details of the process and portfolio requirements are explained in the standard operating procedure.

Please view our presentation on How to Advance to Advanced Membership and the supporting webinar in our video library for more information.
Will I receive support?
Yes. Although the process is straight forward, we appreciate that you may require some support along the way. We can supply you with a mentor. Any appointed mentor will be an Advanced Member, so will have gone through the process you are about to begin. Their role is to support and guide you throughout your journey. They will not devise or complete work on your behalf. If you choose not to have a mentor, please remember we are always here to help.
