Can I become a member of the RSC?

Yes. Most chemistry teachers should qualify for Member (MRSC) or Associate Member (AMRSC) status within the RSC. The AMRSC category is open to graduates (or equivalent) of the chemical sciences. This category is appropriate for recently qualified teachers. MRSC is the main category of membership for those who fulfil the requirements for Associate Members and have also acquired key skills through professional activity over a period of at least three years.
