How much does it cost to become an associate member?
There are two types of fee structure for associate member depending on the type of your organisation.
1. Not-for-profit organisations composed of individual members
Non-language teacher associations (not-for-profit organisations) composed of individual members (“natural persons”) pay an annual subscription fee on a sliding scale. This ensures that as many associations as possible can be part of the network irrespective of their financial resources.
The fee is calculated according to:
- the level of purchasing power in the country in which the association registered;
- the number of association members or staff members.
| Fee payable for one year if you join by 31 December 2011 (in euros) | ||
| Min | Max | |
| Associate member (association) | 10€ | 100€ |
