Lapsed Members
If you fail to maintain the required 30 CPD points over the previous 3-year membership period your AVS status will lapse at the end of the membership year (31st August).
All members who have insufficient points will be contacted and given a one-month grace period in which to upload any outstanding points. If you fail to meet this criterion by the end of this one-month period your membership will lapse and you will be required to complete a remedial CPD programme.
A reinstatement fee of £100 is required within 3 months of a lapsed membership and £250 for anything over 3 months. If AVS status remains lapsed for 5 years or more, both the theory and practical exams will have to be retaken and all conditions met before AVS can be reinstated.
