DTMSI - Design, Technology and Management Society, International

The DTMSI is a multi-disciplined professional learned institution based in South Africa. It offers membership and certification world-wide to individual members and patron and institutional membership to organizations and businesses. The society operates on a national and international basis.

To accomplish its goal DTMSI needs the moral support of industry, commerce and organizations. Through patron or institutional membership, organizations, industry and commerce play a prominent role in the advancement, practice and fostering of the arts and sciences with an opportunity to associate through a meaningful relationship.

The Council of the society is the highest authority in the structure of the DTMSI and is appointed by its active members. The society functions under its own constitution and bye-laws (articles of association), which are revised from time to time in order to ensure the DTMS is in step with technological and social developments. Assisting the Council is the Examination Committee and any co-opted committees or members who manages the affairs of the society.

The most important sub-divisions within the society's structure are:

a) Membership division - subdivided into Technological and Managerial Chapters

b) Certification Division - sub-divided into three main groups:

    Group 1 - Scientific Technological
    Group 2 - Engineering
    Group 3 - Managerial Administrative

c) Vocational, educational and professional development sub-division.

2.1 More about Membership and Education within the DTMSI

The society's structures accommodate the modern busy individual of today in a competitive world. The educational sub-division of the society assists members with educational decisions and allows them to choose courses that will enable them to embark on a career in a suitable field.
