The East Midlands Regional Group is pleased to host a series of lunch-time presentations setting out the Institution’s routes to membership. Darren Byrne, Deputy Chief Executive, will be delivering four presentations on the different stages of the membership process.
Students and graduates who are interested in becoming professionally qualified members, whether that be at Chartered, Associate, Incorporated or Technician level, are encouraged to attend.
We would also welcome attendance from mentors and those who may be responsible for guiding you through the qualification process.
You are invited to attend all four sessions but equally you may wish to attend only those sessions which will be of direct relevance to you.
There will be a Q&A session after each of the presentation
