Associate membership
Whether you’re just beginning your journey in the workplace or moving to IT from another profession, Associate membership of BCS supports you to develop the skills you need to stand out and puts you on your path to success.
Join the 60,000+ community of IT professionals
If you have just completed the first year or two of your career in IT and computing, you may be wondering ‘what’s next?’ Join as an associate member to plot your next steps, connect with other professionals and take your development to the next level.
Connect with other professionals
We have over 150 different specialist groups and branches who meet regularly, either in person or digitally, to discuss the latest trends, host guest speakers and network with leading companies and thought leaders.
Continue your professional development
Every IT professional has a personal responsibility to keep their skills and knowledge up to date. Use our learning tools to enhance your skills and plot your progress on your own CPD plan in your secure member area.
Become RITTech registered
Professional registrations are an independent benchmark of your skills and competence against industry defined standards. The Register of IT Technicians (RITTech) is your first step on the path of Chartered status, and signals to your current and future employers that you’re committed to developing your skills.
Attend thought provoking events
Continuous learning doesn’t mean that you always have your head stuck in a book. BCS regularly host both physical and digital events, such as our award-winning Insights event where you can hear the latest thinking, challenge the status quo and be inspired on your career path.

Networking
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Whilst this isn’t always the case, why leave it to chance. BCS hosted events are a great place to meet with leading organisations who value BCS membership and the skills dedicated professionals bring.
