Two for one!
When you apply for Registered Membership, you're also applying for Chartered status. They go hand in hand at this point, in one application.

Time.png

For always
You keep your Registered Membership forever. Or until you upgrade to Fellowship (or until you leave us) - whichever comes first.

Questions you might have

Why is Chartered status important?

Chartered status brings you recognition, more income and better career prospects. It enhances your standing among your peers and shows that you have demonstrated competence across the breadth of ergonomics and human factors. Find out more

Can I get my Chartered status back if I lose it one year?

Yes, your CPD can be assessed the following year and if successful, you'll then regain your Chartered status.

What do I pay if I upgrade before my membership renewal is due?

If you're already a member and have paid a subscription for the year, we'll work out a pro rata amount to make sure you don't pay twice for the same time period!

I'm coming up to retirement, what will happen to my membership?

When you retire, just let us know and we'll convert your membership to Retired status. You'll just need to declare that you receive no financial income from practice in the discipline. With Retired status, you'll pay a reduced subscription of £36 per year. Your membership grade will remain and you'll still have access to all the same member benefits. To apply for Retired status, please email us.
