For professional bodies
Membership software for professional bodies and institutes
For a professional body, membership is a credential. Etribes keeps each member's documents verified and renewals on time, runs CPD events with attendance and participation certificates, and gives the profession its own job board.
How it often works today
Credentials sit in email attachments
Qualification certificates and licences arrive by email, and nobody can easily see which members have sent what.
Lapsed members go unnoticed
Renewals are tracked in a spreadsheet, so a membership can expire without anyone following up.
Seminar records are scattered
Attendance for workshops and seminars sits in different sheets, so a member's record is never in one place.
Opportunities move informally
Openings and referrals travel by word of mouth, and members outside the inner circle miss them.
How Etribes handles it
Documents verified on the record
Members upload the documents you ask for, and your team verifies them. Each member's status shows whether they are active, pending documents or expired.
Renewals before expiry
Members get a reminder before their membership expires and renew online from their own account. Expiry alerts show the office who has lapsed.
CPD events with certificates
Publish CPD sessions, send reminders automatically and record attendance. Attendees get a participation certificate they can download from their account.
A job board for the profession
Post openings for members or the public. Candidates apply with a résumé, and employers review applicants in one list.
ID cards and professional pages
Issue member ID cards from the system. Members can publish a public portfolio page and share a digital visiting card with clients.

Questions from professional bodies
Can we run CPD events in Etribes?
Yes. Publish each CPD session as an event, record who attended, and issue participation certificates that members download from their own account. Bring your CPD rules to the demo and we will walk through them with you.
Can we ask members for proof of qualification?
Yes. You choose the document types members must upload, and your team verifies each one. Members with missing documents show as pending until it is sorted.
Can members find work through the body?
Yes. Post job openings for members or the public. Candidates apply and upload a résumé, and employers can view applicants and shortlist from the registered candidates list.
