Membership Benefits & Cost
Three reasons to join NAMSS:
-
We offer professional guidance and support as well as access to resources, events and webinars to help colleagues keep on top of their challenging roles within the post-16 sector.
-
We liaise closely with a range of strategic partners, including the DfE and Ofsted to ensure student services and student support teams have a voice.
-
We provide excellent value for money when compared with similar organisations - our membership costs have been held for 5 years in recognition of the funding cuts and financial position colleges find themselves in.
