The Certificate of Merit is open to all individuals, but more specifically designed for the Music Student and their possible future interest in the Arranging, Orchestrating and Copying professions.
The Certificate is awarded to persons who successfully undergo the Guild's general admissions criteria and the payment of a special discounted membership fee (partially refundable, if Entry Test is not passed).
As a pre-qualification, successful applicants will have their membership fee deducted from their Full Membership entry fees, should they choose to take this as a later option. Successful applicants will not have to "re-sit" the entry requirements when they choose to "upgrade" to Full Membership within the Certificate's validation period but will be required to submit recent examples of their work for review/approval by the Board.
The Certificate of Merit has a valid and finite 3-year active period (gauged upon a normal tertiary student course length). This is an ideal opportunity for the music student to enhance their qualifications within the professional industry.
