The value of STA membership Given the STA’s history as the oldest, largest, and most widely respected body of its kind in the world, and being fully endorsed by IFTA and the CISI, the STA course and examination system represent a gold standard in technical analysis qualifications. The strength of teaching from course tutors and STA Fellows is represented by candidates producing consistently strong examination results. In March 2021, the latest pass rates for Diploma 1 and Diploma 2 were 83% and 87% respectively. For pass rates in previous years, please see the Appendix. Membership of the Society of Technical Analysts costs between £75 and £95 per year. The higher subscription rate is for members who have been awarded Diplomas 1 and 2 and have been granted the MSTA designation. Members enjoy the following benefits annually: • STA journal, the ‘Market Technician’ is published in March and September. • 11 monthly meetings with guest lecturers broadcast live and available on-demand. • Access to over 10 years of STA archived video presentations. • CISI Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points for our lecture-based courses. • CISI module and examination exemptions (both full and or partial). • Access to an online course forum. • Updates on industry developments. • Discounts on books, magazines, and software. • Access to the STA sponsored Alphamind podcast. • Social events including summer drinks and annual Christmas gala dinner. • Information sources and member-to-member engagement via the STA’s LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter pages. • Physical and online access to the STA library’s 1,150 books at the Barbican in London.
