Is corporate membership right for you?
Our Corporate Members tell us they value access to CIEP resources, discounts on CIEP training, and being able to advertise editing and proofreading roles to our members, free of charge.
To progress through our grades, appear in our Directory of Editorial Services and access our member forums you’d need to be an individual member.
Your in-house staff can apply to become individual members, and they will receive a discount on their first year’s membership because they work for a Corporate Member.
If you’re an individual trading as a company or under a corporate identity, then individual membership may be more suitable for you.

The pricing bands are defined by the number of editorial workers you have. That means anyone who

- manages or project-manages such editorial tasks
- is involved in teaching the skills of editorial work.
