How to join Online
This is the easiest and quickest way to join, using our secure online process. It typically takes 3-5 minutes (if you already have a CSP website account) and access to ATACP member content on the website is immediate.
Non-CSP member can join online following these instructions:-
Please register here https://www.csp.org.uk/user/register with any details your wish, you must tick the box that says 'I am not and never have been a CSP member (Qualified, Associate or Student)' and the website will not try and use your membership number. The only thing it will check is whether the email address is already on another website account, if so, please use a different email address.
We use Bacs Direct Debit via our merchant Gocardless, this allows us to collect GBP-denominated payments from a bank account in the United Kingdom only. Euro denominated and other international payment are currently not accepted through our online payments system.
