Membership Grades
There are two grades of Membership Corporate and Non-Corporate
As an IIESMS Corporate Member, you are granted the privilege to vote at General Meetings, influencing the direction of our institute. Additionally, you are entitled to use designatory letters such as F.IIESMS, PC.IIESMS, M.IIESMS, A.IIESMS, and T.IIESMS correspond to your membership grade.
On the other hand, a Non-Corporate Membership at IIESMS does not include voting rights at General Meetings nor the use of designatory letters. Despite these differences, all members are valued contributors to our community and play a crucial role in our collective mission.
Corporate Members
Candidates must meet specific criteria to be eligible for Corporate Membership at IIESMS. These include possessing a qualification that is at least equivalent to Level 6 on the Irish National Framework of Qualifications. This ensures our Corporate Members have a solid educational foundation in their respective fields.
Moreover, candidates must be interested in developing and managing systems that safely and effectively integrate people, materials, and energy safely and effectively. This interest is crucial as it aligns with our commitment to safety and effectiveness, a cornerstone of our Corporate Membership at IIESMS.
The benefits of Corporate Membership at IIESMS extend beyond these foundational principles. As a Corporate Member, you will have the opportunity to influence the direction of our institute through voting rights at General Meetings. You can also use designatory letters such as F.IIESMS, PC.IIESMS, M.IIESMS, A.IIESMS, and T.IIESMS, each corresponding to your specific membership grade.
By meeting these eligibility criteria and becoming a Corporate Member, you join a community of professionals dedicated to excellence in their fields and committed to continuously improving systems that safely and effectively integrate people, materials, and energy.
Non-Corporate Members
Eligibility for Non-Corporate Membership at IIESMS is specifically designed to accommodate students engaged in engineering or scientific disciplines. To qualify, students must be enrolled in courses certified by IIESMS or approved by QQI. This eligibility criterion ensures that our Non-Corporate Members actively pursue knowledge in relevant fields.
One of the key benefits of this membership category is the reduced membership rate, making professional development more accessible to students. This is part of our commitment to nurturing the next generation of professionals in the industry.
To maintain the integrity of our Non-Corporate Membership, we require evidence of current study or research. This ensures that our members are actively engaged in their professional development.
Please note that Non-Corporate Membership is limited to a maximum duration of three years. This policy ensures that our Non-Corporate Membership remains a dynamic and evolving community of emerging professionals, constantly refreshed with new ideas and perspectives.
By meeting these eligibility criteria and becoming a Non-Corporate Member, you join a vibrant community of students and emerging professionals, all committed to advancing their knowledge and skills in engineering and scientific disciplines.
