IAT Education on mySociety
We are very pleased to announce that the education aspects of the new IAT database are now fully operational. This means that all applications for IAT qualifications can be made via mySociety. MIAT, FIAT and RAnTech applications can also be made this way.
If you are an existing member of the IAT, you can go to https://my.iat.org.uk
If it is your first visit, simply click on the “Log in now” button and request a new password. You will need to use the e-mail address we have registered for you on your account. If you have any problems requesting a new password, please contact the IAT administrator (admin@iat.org.uk) before creating a new account, as it may be that your e-mail address on your record is different to that you are trying to use.
Once in your record, you can check your contact details – update addresses or change your password.
If you are not a member of the IAT you should select the “Create an account” option, and set up a new record.
