Upgrade your membership

Your membership grade will reflect how much experience you have working as a consultant and what relevant qualifications you may hold. Not only will you receive post-nominal letters after your name, but upgrading demonstrates your commitment to continual professional development.

For your clients, upgrading your membership benchmarks your professional competencies against other consultants, showing that you have satisfied the robust requirements set by the IC for each grade.

To prospective employers, upgrading your membership will demonstrate independent recognition of your development in a competitive consulting marketplace, and make you the Consultant that employers choose.

Personally, upgrading provides an opportunity to reflect on your experiences, and to consider how best to make them work for you to sell your professional skill set.

Upgrading your membership is simple, just follow the link below. We’ll ask for some details and a copy of your CV which demonstrates that you meet the criteria for an upgrade.

Our membership team will then review your eligibility and confirm your upgrade. There is a one off £30 upgrade fee payable once your upgrade is confirmed.
