Your Experience and Qualifications

If you have passed the CPI, CPPI or the JIE, there are no experience or other qualification requirements to become an Affiliate Member; but the information requested will nevertheless be helpful to us to know something about your background. If you are applying on the basis of insolvency related work experience, this should be confirmed by your employer(s). If your application is on a contribution basis, your experience and qualifications will be helpful to us in considering it.

Notes

Upon acceptance of your application to join the IPA, your details will be published on the IPA’s searchable online member directory, and if applicable will also be published on the Insolvency Service’s “Find an Insolvency Practitioner” website.

Your application should be supported by a sponsor, who should be a professional in insolvency or a related field.

The IPA may make further and other enquiries of third parties as it considers appropriate to satisfy itself as to your suitability to be an Affiliate Member.
