If you’re in the early stages of your marine career, or currently developing more responsibility, Associate membership demonstrates your commitment to your career.

Eligibility

To become an Associate Member, you will usually have worked or studied in the marine sector for at least three years and have shown a commitment to continued professional development.

You will be eligible if you are a graduate, a technician, have completed a cadetship or apprenticeship or have an occupational role in the marine sector. 

Progressing to full membership

As soon as you graduate or complete your training, you are eligible to become an Early Career Associate (AMIMarEST).
