It achieves this through a variety of methods, including the publication of a bimonthly bulletin and numerous pamphlets, the organizing of an annual conference and frequent courses linked to Continuing Professional Development, rigorous criteria for full membership including examinations and peer assessment, and a mentoring scheme for newcomers to the profession. The institute is also working together with the CIoL on the establishment and administration of the new designation of Chartered Linguist.
