Affiliates

Occupation scope and impact

Affiliate membership enables you to join CIMSPA if you have active interest in the world of sport and physical activity but are not professionally qualified.

CIMSPA will support you through your career pathway and help to unlock your full potential.

Professional status

Want to go further in your career and gain the professional recognition that you deserve? Professional status can support you to demonstrate your expertise, plan your development and open up new opportunities in your career. With a title, a digital accreditation credential and postnominals that celebrate your skills and knowledge, professional status is here to release your power.

We don’t currently offer professional status for affiliates, but we recommend exploring the opportunities to understand how you can progress your career and be recognised for all that you do.
