1. Renewing Your Membership

A designation keeps you relevant, compliant, and credible. Renewing your membership ensures you remain recognised, protected, and empowered to practice.

2. What You Need to Know

  • When you renew your CIBA membership each year, you confirm your standing with CIBA, SAQA, and regulatory authorities.
    The renewal process ensures that your profile, qualifications, and CPDs remain up to date and your designation valid.

    You’ll be guided through key steps to:

    • Update your personal and employment details

    • Verify your CPD compliance

    • Complete your annual declarations

    • Pay your annual renewal fees

    According to CIBA membership requirements, your renewal is only finalised when your CPD entries, annual declarations, and fees are fully up to date.
