Individual Membership
Join a professional community that gives you a verified directory listing, continuing development, peer access and recognition of your standing in the field — with or without a certification exam.
Membership for Practising Professionals
IBEC membership is designed for practising professionals, certified experts and advisors who want their standing in the field recognised and kept current.
Everyone who certifies through IBEC receives a complimentary first year of membership. Membership is also open directly to experienced professionals who have not sat a certification exam — because a community is not a credential, and IBEC does not pretend otherwise.
