What qualifies me for an upgrade?

Your work experience and your professional knowledge are what determine the level of membership you will be awarded. We ask you to think about these – you may surprise yourself.

What information do I need to provide?

• An annotated full CV
  Going through your CV, consider each job or experience in the light of the sections listed in the POD and mark the CV with a note of the number, or numbers, of the POD sections, if any, which it seems to cover
