Student (SIMarEST)

Get access to a variety of resources and support to help you prepare for your career. You can also use the post-nominals “SIMarEST”, showing potential employers your early commitment to your personal development.

Eligibility

Student membership is free and available to all students, apprentices and cadets (regardless of what or where you are studying or learning) for the duration of your programme.

Student membership lasts until the date of your graduation. At the end of your studies, you will have the option of upgrading to Early Career Associate membership.

Is my degree accredited?

Graduates with accredited degrees have a distinct advantage when applying for professional registration. The IMarEST accredits academic courses in marine engineering, science and technology.

Progressing to full membership

As soon as you graduate or complete your training, you are eligible to become an Early Career Associate (AMIMarEST). As an Early Career Associate, post-graduates and those who have completed their apprenticeship or cadetship pay a reduced fee while benefiting from Associate Membership for five years.
