The Institute of Career Guidance is currently no longer trading. The merger into the Career Development Institute has gone ahead successfully, and the ICG no longer offers a professional membership service; all members have been transferred to the CDI, and all new and upcoming members must visit the CDI website (www.thecdi.net) to sign up.

The CDI will continue to offer the same degree of professional and informative membership services, and considers the engagemet of the members to be pivotal to the success of the new organisation. As well as the same exciting benefits offered by the ICG, the CDI will also offer;

• An effective network of communication and on-going support for members, responsive to their specific needs, through a regular professional journal, newsletters, electronic communications, regional events (including establishing formal fora in each of the Home Nations), a helpline facility and the use of social media.
• Access to a wide range of professional development opportunities from initial training and ongoing accredited CPD.
• Setting and monitoring standards of professional practice to assure the general public and potential users of career development services and activities of the quality of professionals.
• Partnerships with employers, employer bodies, trade unions, providers of teaching and learning resources and sector specific organisations.
• An online Career Progression Framework and CPD log which will enable career development professionals to record their own learning and facilitate career advancement.
• Access to trade partners, securing low cost access to relevant services such as professional indemnity insurance.

The membership categories have been solidified into three easy-to-understand types of membership;

• Individual membership - £85
• Affiliate - perfect for Schools and Organisations - £125 
• Student membership - £43
