Associate membership is available to all qualifying schools that complete an application. Once accepted as an ‘associate member school’ the school may choose to apply (no additional fee) to become a ‘member school’ by providing satisfactory evidence of:

• Current grade, personal grading history and lineage for the head of the school in Australia or the agreed delegate of the school.
• Details of a formal structure that may be a constitution or rules of conduct.
• Satisfactory ‘rules of grading’.
• A coaching and grading curriculum detailing the assessment criteria for each grade level awarded by the school.

We are keen to address any questions you may have before submitting an application for membership. Inquiries are most welcome. Please also see the note below re distribution of applications.
