Thinking about Chartership?

What are the benefits of being Chartered?

In the Society's vision for its membership it seeks to provide a spiritual home for all geoscientists, from which we can nurture the collaborative outlook that is known to be so essential in advancing knowledge, achieving solutions and encouraging the next generation.

Chartership is relevant to all geoscientists, regardless of their role. We all have a responsibility to foster a collective attitude to communicating the importance and societal relevance of Earth sciences. Chartership status benefits to you include:

• Be publicly recognised for your professional excellence
• Improved career prospects and employability
• Higher earning potential
• Be the one that stands out
• Become a leader within your field
• Greater influence within own organisation and industry
• International recognition of competence and commitment
• Demonstrate your ethical credentials
• Enhanced status and skills leading to higher self-esteem

A key attribute of a Chartership qualification is the difference between an academic qualification and a professional qualification. In court cases, for example, acting as an expert witness role, an academic qualification is not recognised as a professional qualification.
