FAQs
1. What are the main differences between Standard, Student, and Teacher Memberships?
All three membership types—Standard, Student, and Teacher—offer access to IPMAglobal's core resources such as research papers, mentoring guides, and discussion forums. However, they cater to different needs:
- Student Membership is designed for students and typically offers discounted rates. It may include additional resources tailored for academic development and career preparation.
- Teacher Membership is for educators and mentors, providing access to specialized mentoring certification, assessment services, and professional development opportunities.
- Standard Membership is suitable for individuals who do not fall into the student or teacher categories but wish to access IPMAglobal's resources and network.
2. How do I determine which membership type is right for me?
Choosing the right membership depends on your current role and needs. If you are a student seeking career guidance and academic resources, the Student Membership would be ideal. Educators or professional mentors looking to enhance their skills and gain recognition should consider the Teacher Membership. For those who do not fit into these categories but want to stay connected with the global mentoring community, the Standard Membership is the best choice.
3. Can I switch my membership type as my circumstances change?
Yes, you can switch your membership type as your needs evolve. For example, if you are a student who graduates and starts working as a mentor, you can upgrade to the Teacher Membership. Similarly, if you are a teacher who transitions to a non-teaching role, you can switch to the Standard Membership. The process typically involves updating your personal information and, in some cases, submitting relevant documentation to IPMAglobal for review.
4. What additional benefits do Teacher and Student Members receive compared to Standard Members?
While there may not be explicit additional benefits listed at present compared to Standard Members, Teacher and Student Members do enjoy pricing advantages tailored to their status.
5. How do I renew my membership or upgrade to a different type?
Renewing your membership is simple and can be done through the IPMAglobal website. To upgrade to a different membership type, you will need to log in to your account, select the desired membership, and follow the prompts to complete the upgrade process. If you have any questions or need assistance, the IPMAglobal customer support team is available to help.
