 HKIM upholds very high standards of its professional memberships. Eligibility has always been individually assessed but is not automatic to marketers. It is determined by educational qualifications, level of management responsibility and length of relevant experience. All applications that meet the relevant criteria are subject to scrutiny by the Institute. Successful completion of a HKIM recognized education programme leads to satisfaction of the educational requirements for Associate Member (AHKIM) of the Institute. For full membership (MHKIM), which confers voting rights, successful completion of the Graduate Diploma (Level 3) satisfies the educational requirements. To become marketing professionals, marketing students are encouraged to join the Institute as student members. They will gain access to our substantial specialist resources and materials as well as information on training and educational programmes jointly offered by HKIM and our education partners.There are two types of memberships,
namely, Full Members and Non-voting Members.
Full Members1. Fellows (FHKIM) Fellows should be an active Member (MHKIM) of the Institute for at least ten consecutive years and holding senior executive positions, or having made substantial contributions to the marketing profession. The membership grade of Fellow is not open for application. It is by invitation from the Executive Council only. 2. Members (MHKIM) A member must have at least an recognized qualification (e.g., a marketing major university degree) and have, at the time of application, at least three years of full-time working experience in a recognised area of marketing (e.g. product development, price setting, sales management, and advertising) with a minimum of one year in a recognised marketing management or marketing education/training appointment. * Only Fellows and Members have voting rights in Annual
General Meeting.

of Certified Professional Marketer (Hong Kong) [CPM(HK)]
for members to further distinguish themselves after becoming
a Full Member of the Institute. The HKIM membership generates a number of
values to its members. These include:
Your HKIM membership
is a recognized status as a professional marketer. You are
entitled to use the designations ''FHKIM", "EHKIM", "MHKIM"
or "AHKIM" (depending on your membership grade) in your personal
identifications.
You are able to network with marketers
of other fields and industries as well as to meet both local
and overseas marketing practitioners and educators in other
countries.
An individual who belongs to any of the APMF
associations has a readily formed network of professional
marketers developed by the APMF throughout the Asia Pacific
region. When the individual is relocated to or visits
other member countries of the APMF, the reciprocal membership
rights are conferred for the period of their stay up to
one full membership year. This provides an invaluable
professional network that the individual may take advantage
of to enhance their job efficiency and effectiveness overseas.
