Volunteering for the Professional Registration Programme
As a small organisation we look on the support from our more experience members to participate in the Professional Registration Programme. If you are professionally registered either with IfSE or another professional organisation there are ways to get involved and it may be that you are already supporting applicants within your organisation. You can participate as much or as little as your current commitments allow.
Benefits of volunteering:
- Can be added to your own personal CPD
- Imparting your experience to members
