Associate members are those who do not yet have the appropriate experience for Statutory Membership ie Fellow, Member or Specialist.

Applicants should be currently working in business continuity management and have experience within the scope of the 10 BCI Certification Standards.

Applicants for Associate who are not current BCI Affiliate members need to complete a general application form and a professional application form which is scored assessed by a panel of the Membership Committee. Current BCI Affiliate members who wish to upgrade to Associate need to complete the professional application form.

Once forms have been scored assessed, applicants will be advised if they are considered to have the necessary experience to be offered an ABCI. In some cases applicants are offered Affiliate membership and invited to reapply when they have gained more experience.
