I'M A STUDENT FROM A ACCREDITED PLANNING PROGRAM…

…interested in planning. You are encouraged to apply for Student membership to become a Student Member of OPPI. Student members are eligible for OPPI Scholarships.

I'M INTERESTED IN BUT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CANDIDATE MEMBERSHIP…

You intend to become a Candidate member, but do not yet qualify for Candidate membership. For instance -

  • You have a recognized planning degree, but are not yet working in planning, or
  • You do not have a recognized planning degree, but have been working in planning less than 5 years, and you have been in contact with the Professional Standards Board, which has confirmed that you will likely qualify to become a Candidate Member.

If either of these options describe your current position, then you may apply to become a Pre-Candidate member. While working towards qualifying for Candidate membership, Pre-Candidates enjoy all the benefits of membership except those reserved for Full and Candidate members.

I'M A NON-PLANNER…

...and although I do not practice or intend to practice planning, I do have a general interest in planning and in OPPI. You are encouraged to apply to become a Public Subscriber and enjoy all the benefits of membership except those reserved for Full and Candidate members.
