How membership works with the ICE
TPS membership and ICE membership are separate, and each holds different information. In practice it works like this:
You apply and pay through TPS Your application, grade, fees and CPD record are held by TPS. This is the account you sign in to on this site.
The ICE administers the qualification records Where your route involves ICE, they hold the professional qualification record. TPS and ICE share only what is needed to keep the two in step.
You keep one set of details up to date Update your details with TPS and we pass the relevant changes on — you do not need to tell both organisations separately.
If you are unsure which organisation holds something, ask TPS first — we can see enough of the record to point you to the right place.
