The ICL has three categories of membership: Full, Student and Advanced Student.

In some circumstances, membership of other associations is recognised.

To apply to become a member of ICL:

  1. Complete and submit the application form
  2. You will be asked to provide a police check. Forms for this are obtainable at any police station. Fax the completed form to 01483 479516.
  3. If approved, you will be asked for a joining fee of £50, which is also the annual charge. The ICL is a non-profit making organisation, and these charges cover our administration costs only.
  4. If you are applying for Advanced Student or Full Membership you will also be asked for proof of training and previous experience. You will need to sit a practical and theory exam for which there is a charge of £100.
