What are the benefits of membership?
Members receive regular newsletters ensuring that they are kept updated with activities in the industry. In addition, members of CorrISA receive SA Mechanical Engineer on a monthly basis, where the CorrISA column contains articles covering all aspects of corrosion. Membership of CorrISA also affords discounts on education courses offered by the Institute. Regular Technical Meetings are held in major centres, encouraging the informal gathering of members to share information and network in a non-commercial environment. Several social events, including an Annual Dinner and a Golf Day afford membership a more social environment to network with fellow “anti-corrosion” parties, providing a win-win situation all round. In addition to the above, Company Members receive web linkage via our website and corrosion queries received by the Institute are forwarded to the relevant sector of the industry. Company Members also receive the opportunity to host the Institute’s various training courses at reduced rates for their own personnel.
