For organisations only

A professional network with a clear boundary.

Institutional membership connects organisations working in language education and assessment without turning participation into a quality award.

Eligibility

Membership is for organisations, not individuals.

A legally established organisation may apply when its work has a genuine connection to language education, language assessment, teacher or assessor development, or supporting professional services. Admission is discretionary and follows proportionate due diligence; payment or application alone does not create membership.

What Certiqual checks before admission

The legal identity, ownership, responsible contacts and principal activities can be verified.
The organisation has a substantive connection to language education, language assessment or professional development.
Public claims about services, approvals and partnerships are accurate and can be evidenced.
The organisation accepts the membership, mark-use, complaints and material-change requirements.

Admission and continuation

A documented relationship, not a purchased badge.

The admission record identifies the organisation and the basis on which it joined. Active status remains subject to accurate public claims, permitted mark use and notification of material changes.

01
Enquiry and organisation profile
The applicant identifies the legal entity, activities, responsible contact and reason for joining.
02
Eligibility and due diligence
Certiqual checks identity, sector relevance, public claims and any material integrity concern.
03
Admission decision
An authorised person decides membership separately from accreditation and Certi Mark decisions.
04
Directory and mark controls
An admitted organisation receives an Associate Member record and the rules for any permitted member mark.
05
Continued status review
Material changes, complaints and mark use may be reviewed; continuation is not automatic when requirements are no longer met.

Participation

What active members can expect.

Active Associate Members may participate in professional exchange, consultation activities, events and member resources, and may appear in the Member Directory. Availability may vary by activity and does not confer access to confidential assessment information or decision-making authority.
