Affiliated membership (CG (Affiliated)

Affiliated membership is our non-chartered level. It’s a straightforward way to get professional recognition for your existing academic and career achievements, without the need to study for another qualification. If you already have a relevant degree, professional qualification, or work experience in governance – or a similar sector, like law or finance – it’s likely you’re eligible for affiliated membership of CGIUKI.
