MEMBERSHIP
LEVELS
There are three main IAEA membership levels.
hether you are just
starting out in your
career, have gained
an IAEA approved
quali昀椀cation or are
an experienced engineer, there is a
level appropriate for you. The levels
of membership are as follows:
W
Af昀椀liate (no post nominals)
The 昀椀rst step for all members is to
join at Af昀椀liate level.
You will need to have a comprehensive
education and training record relevant
to motor vehicle repair and be
currently employed in the industry.
The grade of Af昀椀liate does not provide
the holder with any post nominals
that can be referenced in reports or
on company stationery/websites. This
also includes reference to the term
'Member' or use of the Institute's
logo on any stationery/website. Any
incorrect use of post nominals may
result in a breach of the IAEA code of
conduct.
Associate (A.Inst.A.E.A)
The next level upon sitting our
exams and passing our practical (or
equivalent) is an Associate of the
IAEA, for which you need to have a
comprehensive education/relevant
training record.
You will also need to have passed
the Institute's practical examination
within the last four years, or equivalent
for example, IMI VDA holders but
conditions apply.
Member (M.Inst.A.E.A).
The top level of membership upon
sitting our exams and passing our
practical (or equivalent) is Member.
To achieve this level, you will need a
comprehensive education/relevant
training record, as well as being
engaged as an engineer assessor
in an automotive assessing role in
connection with automotive damage
claims. You will also have passed at
least four of the Institute's written
examinations sections 2, 3 and 4 are
compulsory (two of which may have
been passed at Associate level) as well
as having a current (less than four years
old) Institute Practical Examination
or equivalent – for example, IMI VDA
holders but conditions apply.
In addition, we have two
fellowships. Both of these grades are
nominations from the IAEA Council
which are approved by the national
council following a closed review
process.
Fellow (F.Inst.A.E.A)
A Corporate Member (full Member),
who has rendered special services
to the Institute may be elected to
Fellowship by appointment of the
national IAEA council.

pace with most dates throughout the
rest of the year already taken. We are
