What is the maximum duration an individual can hold the title of MIT before requiring an extension?

The title of Member In Training (MIT) is designed to provide individuals with a framework within which they can gain the necessary experience and credentials required for full professional membership. The maximum duration an individual can hold this title before an extension is needed is 4 years. This period allows sufficient time for the individual to accumulate the requisite work experience and professional development activities essential for progressing toward a full designation. If the individual does not transition to the full membership within this timeframe, they would need to apply for an extension to continue holding the MIT title. This policy emphasizes the importance of timely professional growth and ensures that MIT holders remain engaged in their development within the field.
