Membership Types
Affiliate member
Affiliate membership is only available to those who do not qualify for Associate or Full Membership and/or those with an interest in the advisory profession but who are not currently practising as an advisor.
This includes students and other persons intending to pursue a career in consulting and other stakeholders who may wish to be kept abreast of industry developments and wish to network with management advisors.
A special discount is available to full-time students who are not currently practising as consultants – a Student Declaration is required.
Associate member
Associate Membership is open to practising management advisors with less than 3 years’ advisory experience and have not yet become a Certified Business Management Advisor. (CBMA)
Membership will be for those who have recently joined the profession and will most likely be working with or alongside a CBMA member. Members will remain as Associate Members until they can demonstrate at least 3 years’ consulting experience and have been granted CBMA status. Achieving these then allows them to be granted Full Membership.
Full member
Full membership is open to practising advisors with at least 3 years’ advisory experience that have been granted CBMA status.
Ongoing professional development will be a requirement for all those granted CBMA status and who have become a full member.
