New MyBSAC launching soon

BSAC IS INTRODUCING A NEW membership system which will replace the existing MyBSAC functions currently accessible through the website and BSAC app.
The‘ switch over’ to the new system is scheduled for the end of June and members will be informed by email of the exact dates once they are finalised.
The launch of the upgraded MyBSAC system will take membership management to a new level, providing more value for BSAC members and clubs. With a responsive design that works on smartphones and tablets, the new MyBSAC will now enable members to renew their membership and view events. Club officers will be able to manage their members, and instructors sign off training. Meanwhile, all existing information will still be accessible in the new system.
The upgrade is part of BSAC’ s ongoing strategic development of its membership services. Speaking on the new membership system, BSAC CEO Mary Tetley said:“ I hope our members will enjoy using the selfservice MyBSAC platform, which gives them control of their membership, access to their qualifications and training, and enables our instructors, clubs and centres to manage diver training more effectively.”
