Frequently asked questions

Is Affiliate-Member a full membership of SIPMM?
Affiliate-Member is an affiliate grade — part of the SIPMM community and the pathway to membership. Full membership begins at the Member grade. Member and Fellow are full members; Student-Affiliate and Affiliate-Member are affiliate grades.
What do I need to qualify?
See “How to qualify” above — you can usually join by one of two routes.
How are my membership letters (MSIPMM / FSIPMM) different from a professional designation like ASP™ or AIP™?
They are three separate things — and you can hold all three. Your membership grade is where you belong in the Institute; as a full member it also gives you post-nominal letters — MSIPMM (Member) or FSIPMM (Fellow) — to write after your name. A professional designationASP™ or AIP™ — is a separate accreditation you earn through courses and experience, not through your grade. Chartered designationsCSM™ and CPM™ — sit above these for qualifying professionals. The letters can appear together, e.g. Tan Wei Ming, MSIPMM, ASP™. See our Professional Designations page.
Do I need to renew?
Yes — renew to keep your benefits and standing, and to demonstrate your ongoing commitment to the profession.
