The World Certification Institute attracts a global membership representing competent professionals and practitioners from diverse occupational backgrounds and cross-functional disciplines.

There are five categories of individual membership and two categories of corporate membership. The individual membership categories provide for admission at levels that reflect skills and competencies attained.

An essential criterion for individual membership is that an applicant must have been awarded a professional credential from World Certification Institute.

All members are required to demonstrate a reputation of integrity by agreeing to abide by a Code of Ethical Practices, or an equivalent code relevant to their occupational requirements and acceptable to World Certification Institute. Adherence to this code serves to assure public confidence on the integrity of members

The five categories of individual membership are:

1. Associate Members : persons who have been awarded by the Institute with the professional credential of a World Accredited Practitioner; or a World Accredited Expert Practitioner or a World Certified Professional are eligible to apply. Associate members are authorized to use the post-nominal membership designation of AWCI.
