What Qualification Certificate does the IACST recognise and accept for Membership?
Can I start the application process while I wait for a certificate?
Yes, however you will not be placed on the online members register until all certificates are updated.
What should I do if my certificate is in date at time of application but expires during the membership year?
It is your responsibility to ensure all certificates held by the IACST in relation to your membership are valid. Certificates should be renewed and submited to the IACST prior to expiration to ensure continuity of membership and ensuring your insurance policy is not invalidated. If an expired certificate is not updated your profile is automatically removed from the online members register.
Which certificates should I submit if I am renewing membership?
If you were a member in the previous membership year you will only need to submit certificates that have been renewed for example insurance, Children First and First Aid/CPR.
Will I get a refund if my application is not successful?
Garda Vetting fees are nonrefundable. An Administration fee of €40 will apply if an application is unsuccessful.
Do I get a members login for the website?
The IACST are currenly working towards a new website which will have a fully automated members area. On the IACST current website the members area is for members who purchaed access.
