There are three different ways to join ALTE:
Join ALTE as an Individual Affiliate and receive regular information about our courses and events. Becoming an ALTE Individual Affiliate is free of charge, and anyone with an interest in language testing can apply.
You will receive news from ALTE about its events and activities, as well as news from carefully selected other relevant activities from third parties. By completing this information and registering you agree that the information you provide will be stored by ALTE in its internal systems based in the United Kingdom as well as the WildApricot Membership software based in Canada that we use. All data will be kept secure and only used to process your application and to send you emails from ALTE. ALTE will never pass your details on to any third party without your additional consent.
ALTE Individual Affiliates usually do not attend ALTE SIGs or meetings restricted to Members. However, an Individual Affiliate may attend a meeting, as a one-off occurrence, if there is a specific reason and you are invited to do so by a Full or Individual Expert Member, subject to ALTE's agreement and paying any relevant attendance fees.
Individual Affiliates unfortunately do not receive any discount on course or conference attendance.
You may unsubscribe and thus withdraw your affiliation at any time by writing to secretariat@alte.org
