The Qualified Practitioner route to full STEP membership is open to you if you have a recognized professional qualification and a minimum two years of current post-qualification practical experience in trusts and/or estate planning. After joining STEP Canada as a student member and satisfying the assessment criteria, you may apply for admission as a full member of the Society. (Associate Student Membership is available to you in the meantime if you lack the requisite two-years experience.)
