Which membership?
There are two main ways you can join the Chartered IIA: as an affiliate or student member. Both give you access to our full range of membership benefits.
Below are a list of all the different memberships we offer.

1. Student membership
For those studying the Internal Audit Practitioner designation, the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) qualification, or for those undertaking an apprenticeship
Student membership is for internal auditors who want to study our professional qualifications, starting with the Internal Audit Practitioner or the CIA, and for those taking an apprenticeship programme.

2. Affiliate membership
For membership services without studying
Join as an affiliate member if you're working in internal audit but are not yet planning to take our qualifications.
You should also join as an affiliate member if you want to take our modular training course the IIA Certificate, apply to be chartered by experience, or to do our CIA Challenge Exam.

Other types of membership we offer
Group membership
If you are part of a team of ten or more internal auditors, a group membership scheme could be for you. Your organisation will save money and time by signing up the whole team.
Audit Leaders
If you are head of an in-house internal audit function, the Institute has a dedicated networking service especially for you. You need to be a member to be eligible for Audit Leaders - you can join and apply at the same time.
Voting membership
If you're a Certified Internal Auditor joining the institute for the first time, you will become a 'voting member', which means you can vote at our AGM.
What happens next?
Once we've received your application, we will be in touch within three working days. Once payment has been received, we'll send your membership number and website login so you can start accessing your member benefits.
