IAER provides four (4) categories of membership: Associate Member, Member, Senior Member and Fellow:

      IAER Associate Member

            University students, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, may join IAER as an Associate Member if they see their future career to be in the domain of education and/or research. This will help the pupils get early insight into their future career choices. IAER organizes many workshops and trainings aiming to help them build their career in the education and/or research industry. Associate Members are not granted any IAER post-nominal or right to vote in any chapter/society elections. However, they may subscribe to IAER News, avail any training opportunities and view all the IAER conference and journal publications without any fee.
          Upon entering the career pathway in education and/or research, Associate Members can upgrade to full professional membership.

IAER Members can use MIAER post-nominal. IAER Members enjoy all the membership benefits as stated above.
            Membership elevation to senior grade depends on the recommendations made by the members of IAER advisory board or chairs of IAER societies or chapters. Qualified IAER Members (MIAER) are then formally invited to become the IAER Senior Members.
