Student or Ordinary Member

If you are presently studying towards your coach or mentor qualification, BDST offers a highly discounted Student Member rate. Alternatively your journey begins as an ordinary member with increasing benefits as you grow.

Credentialed Member

The endorsement as a SAQA registered coach or mentor requires that you credential with BDST. Refer to the Professional Journey to understand the process.

There are instances where an organisation will be paying for membership on behalf of individuals. This includes Strategic Partners such as coaching/mentoring companies.

There are companies who do not have coaching or mentoring as their core business, but align themselves with the professional BDST standards of coaching and mentoring and have internal or external coaches or mentors. These companies may elect to pay the BDST fees for their coaches or mentors. In accordance with SAQA, each individual person is registered in accordance with their individual experience and status. Each employee receives their own log-in details for the website and access to their own profile management.
