Membership Categories and Fee Structure

In 2017, the WFCP’s Board of Directors re-visited our member fees to recognize the difference in resources available for developing countries. Membership fees and a new member fee category (low-middle income) were introduced at the April 29, 2017 Annual General Meeting. These fees are effective as of January 1st 2018.

In June 2018, the Board agreed to a new sub-category: Associate (Individual). Individual members form part of the network of practitioners and leaders committed to enhancing the standing and impact of professional and technical education and training across the globe. Members join the largest global network of colleges and polytechnics. Individual Membership operates from July to June and includes the following benefits
