Faculty membership

Access to Faculty tools and resources is free. To be able to join the Faculty as Member or Fellow you must undergo an assessment.

Following assessment, you receive Faculty post-nominals (see table below), and a Faculty Assessment Report which provides you feedback on your next steps of development from your peers. The Faculty Assessment Report serves as a starting point from which you can access the Faculty Professional Development Service to work with the Faculty Team on your Professional Development Plan (PDP).
