As the new year really gets going, the Institute of Plumbing South Africa (IOPSA) keeps you up-to-date with new developments

As of March 2016, IOPSA members will be certified on an annual basis.

From March 2016, IOPSA member registration will be annual. Members will be issued with a new certificate and sticker each year. These certificates and stickers will carry the new registration date, which gives consumers, customers or property owners the ability to identify that the member is current. Your certificate will be issued electronically, which means it is secure (unlike paper which can be lost or damaged). This new system will also allow IOPSA to keep you, the member, up-to-date and informed on all the goings-on at the Institute, including Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities, fun events and meetings.

New members can join IOPSA at any time during the year, but membership runs from March to February. That means that if you join in July 2016, you will need to renew your membership in February the following year.
