We also offer the option of CPD membership, which provides 12 hours of CPD content, regarding Section 6 – Energy of the Technical Standards and can in many cases count towards membership of one or both Schemes.

Registering your interest consists of 3 steps:

  1. We will ask you to provide your name, contact and company details.
  2. RIAS-regs will then check your registration details, this may take up to a week to complete. You may pre-qualify to join the Scheme, if not we will ask for further details of your qualifications and experience - see the Membership Criteria page.
  3. Once your details have been verified, you will be informed by email that your interest has been registered whether we are able to invite you to subscribe to the Scheme.
