Can I set up direct debit to pay for my membership? IPT UK are unable to process memberships via monthly direct debit, however you can set up automatic yearly rebilling via your JoinIt account.

How do I upgrade my membership from Trainee Member to Basic Member/Member Plus? Please email [email protected] and our Administrators will process this for you and advise you with regards to the next steps of accreditation.
How do I renew my Membership? Members will receive a reminder email from JoinIt one month before your re-accreditation is due. Members must log into JoinIt and update their membership form accordingly, paying particular attention to questions about CPD. Members may be required to make payment at this time if they have not set up automatic re-billing. Membership renewal applications that have not been updated within 1 month of the re-accreditation date will not be processed. In this instance your membership would be cancelled. Membership fees will be refunded (if they were paid for automatically).
I allowed my membership to lapse, how to do I re-sign up as an IPT UK member? This depends on the length of time that you have not been registered with IPT UK and if you have kept up to date with CPD requirements. Please visit our "Register as a Member" for specific guidance.
How much CPD do I have to complete in a year? Members must complete a minimum of 20 hours of facilitated and self-directed CPD per year. This must include attendance at a minimum of one-half day facilitated IPT CPD. Time in supervision will be credited towards meeting the required standard of 20 hours of CPD activity per year. You can find the full CPD policy on our Policies page.
