What happens next?
What happens once I have joined?
Once your application has been reviewed and processed, you will receive a welcoming pack with details of your local CIAT Region/Centre along with additional information. As a member or affiliate, you can be involved with your Region/Centre or at national level with the Institute.
What is the role of a Region/Centre?
Each Region/Centre has a Committee which organises Continuing Professional Development (CPD) events and other networking opportunities. Members and affiliates are encouraged to attend these events and play an active part within their Region/Centre. You can attend any CPD events organised by other Regions/Centres at your own cost. You can also attend relevant local events arranged by the CIOB, RIBA and RICS. However, you may need to pay to attend these events. Details of all events can be found on our calendar and in our weekly e-newsletter, AT Weekly.
