What to know before you inquire
Membership, training-program accreditation, vendor listings, and industry collaboration are different pathways. These answers can help you choose the right next step.
Does Nulca membership accredit my company?
+
No. Membership and training-program accreditation are separate. Membership connects an organization to Nulca. Accreditation applies only to a named training program reviewed against Nulca’s Competency Standard.
Does joining require a major time commitment?
+
No single level of participation fits every organization. Some members focus on maintaining an accurate directory listing and following Nulca’s work. Others contribute field perspective when a topic matches their experience.
Can a training provider, supplier, or technology company join?
+
If your organization is not a locating company, tell us what you do. Nulca can help identify whether membership, a vendor listing, industry collaboration, or training-program accreditation review is the appropriate path.
What does membership cost?
