Personal Membership is available to any person interested in the aims of the Association (not available to institutions).

Special Membership is only available to full-time post-graduate students, retired and unemployed persons and teachers in their first year of teaching who are interested in the aims of the Association. Teachers with part-time employment should join as Personal Members.

Student Membership is available only to full-time undergraduate students.

Institutional membership is available to schools, companies, and other institutions that are interested in the aims of the Association. These institutions are required to nominate a person to be their representative. This person is entitled to vote at general meetings.
