Membership
Get 3 months of free membership
Free and no bounds for 3 or 12 months
IDA offers a 3 months free trial membership for graduates. It is a free and non-binding period, and you can cancel it during or after this period free of charge.
If you are student, the first 12 months of your student membership are completely free, without being a free trial.
You get direct access to a range of benefits as an IDA member. For instance, you can join one or more professional networks, you can get career advice, or you can save money on your insurance or your daily expenses.
Access to IDA benefits
You have almost full access to all members’ benefits with a free trial, just like a regular IDA membership, but with one exception; IDA does not offer legal support in conflicts by way of negotiation, settlement or litigation.
As student, you have not this kind of restrictions, because it is not a free trial membership. However, IDA does not offer conflict legal assistance to students.
