How to Apply

Qualification
Qualification for IMIS membership is obtained through one of two routes: professional or examination.

Professional is based upon an evaluation of the applicant’s experience, and conditional upon receipt of suitable professional reference(s).

Examination is based on progression through the IMIS framework of formal examinations.
For those wishing to embark on the examination syllabus, there is further information available from the Secretariat or on the website page Qualifications.
You can request a list of IMIS registered colleges where you can study the IMIS qualifications and a list of examination centres where you can sit your IMIS examinations by contacting central@imis.org.uk.
