Which membership is right for you?

We have four individual membership categories so that you can select the membership which is right for you and that best matches your experience, expertise and extent of your practice. See below for a brief description of each category. Further down the page is a guide to help you to map your coaching and mentoring capability to decide the category for you. Once you have made your selection; click on the appropriate membership category listed in the box on the right of this page. This will tell you more about the membership benefits, the price and take you to the joining application form. 

Please take care when selecting your membership category as this can only be changed or upgraded at renewal each year.

Please note that non-UK residents will need to join the EMCC organisation within their own country.  Details of organisations outside of the UK can be found on the EMCC Global website here.
