CHARTERSHIP/ New application guidelines
We have changed our Chartership guidelines to ensure the application process is more accessible. We now only require you to have one Supporter (previously known as Sponsor) if you choose a CGeol or CSci Supporter.
If a Chartered Supporter cannot be identified, please contact the Chartership Office for further advice at chartership@geolsoc.org.uk.
Visit our website to find out more about these changes.
