Welcome to the APPTA Membership Application Page
Your APPTA Membership is a 6 step process.
1) Please review the membership credentials and the membership categories and criteria before completing this form. Remember, if the membership application form is submitted with the incorrect level of membership – this could delay the processing time of your application.
2) Complete the Membership Application form below and upload copies of qualifications and all other required documentation as outlined in the membership credentials document.
Please note: Your application cannot be processed without attached copies of all required documents. Please refer to the document: Membership credentials page 4: Membership Credentials
3) Once your application has been submitted it will be sent to the APPTA membership committee for review. For organizational and affiliate levels – the review can take up to 3 weeks. For all applicants at the Student, Provisional, Registered and Supervisor level – the approval process may take up to 7 weeks to process, depending on the meeting cycle of the APPTA committee, which is usually once every 4 weeks. All Student, Provisional, Registered and Supervisor members must be ratified at an APPTA committee meeting.
4) All Applicants will be notified by email of their membership status – approved, pending, ratified.
5) For all applicants that are approved – you will be directed to a secure area via APPTA’s website where you can activate your APPTA membership.
