Re-joining the Institute

If you were an Associate member or affiliate you will need to just complete the joining process again and pay the reinstatement fee which is detailed in the subscription and fees document below.

If you attained the status of MCIAT and allowed your membership to lapse for less than three years, to reinstate your membership you will need to complete the joining process again and submit your previous CIAT registration number or proof of former membership along with the reinstatement fee which is detailed in the subscription and fees document below. 

If your Chartered or Fellow Membership has been inactive for more than three years, you will need to re-join initially as an affiliate or Associate (depending on your eligibility). To re-join, you need to complete the joining process here and submit your previous CIAT registration number or proof of former membership along with the £70 reinstatement fee and applicable pro-rata subscription.

The process to re-attain your Chartered Architectural Technologist qualification requires you to complete the professional practice units (15-17) of the Chartered Architectural Technologist POP Record. You must then submit the re-entry interview application form, applicable narrative and supporting evidence for units 15, 16 and 17,an up-to-date CV and pay a £225 professional practice re-entry interview fee. Upon receipt of your complete re-entry interview application, we will arrange a Professional Practice Re-entry Interview with successful attendance enabling registration as a Chartered Architectural Technologist (and Fellow Membership, if previously attained).

Upon successful attendance at your Professional Practice re-entry interview, you will then be required to pay the difference between the Chartered or Fellow Membership subscription, compared to that of the Associate or affiliate subscription for that period.
