Today we have 21,000 members across 96 countries from a range of professions, including lawyers, accountants and other specialists.
By joining STEP, practitioners and employers benefit from quality education and resources, professional recognition, and international connections. There are three routes to membership, depending on a practitioner's level of experience and qualifications.
