This makes belonging to the Institute a real benefit to each individual member personally, and one which can be taken from job to job. Benefits of membership include: • A regular programme of local meetings where members get together in an informal atmosphere to learn, network and socialise • Access to the Institute’s respected CPD programme. • Regular updates on the latest developments in standards and practice through free copies of the GAI’s latest training manuals, which are available to all Institute members, and quarterly editions of Architectural Ironmongery Journal - the GAI’s official publication. • The right to use the designated letters M Inst AI after your name – proof to colleagues and customers of your on-going commitment to excellence and a membership certificate to display as proof of that commitment. • Access to the ‘Members Only’ sections of the GAI’s web site
Guildmark - THE MARK OF QUALITY In one of the most significant and innovative developments in the architectural ironmongery business for many years, the GAI has launched a new joint initiative with the RIBA, GuildMark. The scheme, the first of its kind ever to receive RIBA endorsement - crystallises the Guild’s commitment to quality, education and professional excellence, working with architects to deliver the highest standards of reliability demanded in modern construction.
Registration - Benchmark Reg AI status is the benchmark standard for architectural ironmongery and one which lies at the very heart of what the Guild stands for – the highest possible standards of education and professionalism. Every architectural ironmonger is a qualified GAI Diploma holder and has been able to prove they are fully up-to-date with industry standards, regulations and legislation. Literature Regular updates on the latest developments in standards and practice through free copies of the GAI’s latest training manuals, which are available to all Institute members, and quarterly editions of Architectural Ironmongery Journal - the GAI’s official publication.
Courses At the heart of the Institute's activities is the GAI's highly respected educational programme. The three-year Diploma course is the qualification for architectural ironmongers. Of the 2000+ diploma-holders, hundreds have taken their education further, achieving Registered Architectural Ironmonger (Reg AI) status, proving their commitment, expertise and professionalism.
