- Intermediate Membership (IM) is suitable for those with some experience in copy-editing or proofreading who are working towards Professional Membership.
Are you a non-member wishing to join as an Intermediate Member?
- You must submit the evidence to support your application within one month of joining.
- If we do not receive your upgrade form within that time, we will enrol you as an Entry-Level Member (ELM).
- You can also upgrade at any time if you join as an ELM.
