Beyond the initial period of automatic conversion after a mandatory pre-induction training, substantive membership of the Institute can only be acquired through a well-designed regime of written examinations, project and a rigorous internship programme.
The standard professional qualification period is set in 3 Stages called ICE 1- 3 and not in calendar years. The crowning point of the whole exercise is our action-centered internship scheme under the supervision of a certified Fellow of the Institute.
Thus, after the initial general waiver period, nobody may be inducted into the Institute unless he has duly completed the relevant qualification Exams and a Fellow (using his professional seal specifically designed for this purpose) certifies that ‘this person can INDEED sell’.
