How to Join step

There are four levels of STEP membership:

  • Full Member (TEP) – our highest level of membership for experienced practitioners
  • Associate
  • Affiliate
  • Student – entry-level membership for those just starting out

Depending on your experience and qualifications/credentials you can join STEP as a Student, Affiliate or Full Member (TEP). Practitioners who join at Student or Affiliate level can work their way up to TEP status via our Exam or Essay Route, or through acquiring the necessary level of experience.

In joining STEP, you are demonstrating your commitment to high professional standards. All members must adhere to STEP’s Codes of Professional Conduct, which set out the ethical and professional standards a member should uphold.
