You're on your way to Chartership!
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.
For always
You keep your Registered Membership forever. Or until you upgrade to Fellowship (or until you leave us) - whichever comes first.
Lifelong learning
By submitting evidence of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) each year, you'll keep your Chartered status forever too!
Recognition
You'll become a 'Chartered Ergonomist & Human Factors Specialist', and can use a special logo and the post nominals C.ErgHF and MCIEHF.
What's needed?
If you work across the discipline using a broad range of knowledge and skills, this could be the right membership grade for you. Click on each item below to find out more about the different requirements for your application.
Questions you might have
Why is Chartered status important?
Can I get my Chartered status back if I lose it one year?
What do I pay if I upgrade before my membership renewal is due?
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.
