Member grade

Member grade membership is appropriate for individuals who hold a Level 4 Diploma or equivalent and have been working within the fire sector for at least five years. This makes Member grade ideal for those who have gained extensive experience and now want the professional recognition to go with it. 

If you hold a degree you can also check whether it is accredited by the Engineering Council and if so apply with us to become Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). 

Please note: If you are looking to become Interim registered as an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer, please apply for this rather than applying for Associate alone. A successful Interim application will attain Associate membership automatically so an Associate application does not need to be made. 

Technical Report route

If you do not have the academic qualifications required for MIFireE but you are able to demonstrate that you have achieved a standard of professional competence comparable to your contemporaries who have achieved MIFireE grade through the academic route, then you may be able to apply for MIFIreE grade via the Technical Report route. Please contact our membership team who will provide you with the Technical Report route application form.
