Fellowship FAQs

There is an application fee of £85 (for existing members) or £100 (for non-members). The annual fee for 2025 is £214. If you join halfway through the membership year, we pro rata the fee, and if you are already a member, you just pay the difference for that part of the year remaining.

No, not at all, and many people apply directly.
