Who Can Join?

Any ADI working in or around the Warrington area is welcome to apply for membership of the WPDIA.  Annual subscription is just £35.

Benefits of Joining

There are many benefits to becoming a member of our Association. Our members are close friends and we have a great time when we get together. Of course we also have a common interest, and we hope to further our cause.  You will get to know people working in the industry in your area and by attending meetings you will keep yourself informed of developments that affect you such as CPD (Continuing Professional Development), announcements and decisions from the DSA, news from local test centres and general issues and hot topics of the day
Each year there will be several guest speakers at the monthly meetings who can provide extremely valuable information about a range of issues in the industry.  This can help you develop your skills and promote your business!
