Requirements to upgrade

Every upgrade is assessed against four things: the qualification level for the grade you are moving to, verified relevant experience, a current-year ethics attestation, and evidence of continuing professional development (CPD).

To Associate (AsIOM)

Hold a Level 3 or 4 qualification (or approved equivalent), with verified experience in service integration or management, plus a current ethics attestation and CPD.

To Member (MIOM)

Hold a Level 5 qualification, with substantial senior-level experience assessed individually, alongside sustained CPD and ethical standing.

To Fellow (FIOM)

By Fellowship panel review — reserved for senior professionals of proven standing, recognised achievement, and significant contribution to the profession.

Every year

Renew your membership, complete your ethics attestation, and log ongoing CPD to keep your designation active and eligible for the next upgrade.
