Membership Grades
The IIESMS approach to membership is structured into a “tiered” system designed to align professional experience, task management responsibilities, project leadership roles, supervision capabilities, decision-making authority, strategic involvement, and commitment to continued professional development (CPD). This system ensures that members are appropriately categorised based on their qualifications and experience levels, promoting growth and professional development within the organisation.
