BSAC members will be able to have all their essential membership details right at their fingertips when the soon-to-be-launched MyBSAC app goes live .
AVAILABLE FROM THE END OF September , the free MyBSAC app has been developed to directly support members ’ diving and training .
The move to create the MyBSAC app has also been a key part of BSAC ’ s strategy , prioritising a closer and more engaged BSAC-to-member relationship . This includes a focus on adopting new technologies to improve both member services and the member experience .
“ The MyBSAC app will give members instant
6 and easy access to their BSAC membership and diving details , meaning it is an invaluable tool for divers and snorkellers , whenever and wherever they are ,” said BSAC IT manager , and app project manager , Chris Horan .
To be launched on both iOS and Android , the MyBSAC app is quick to install and set up , and intuitive to use . Via the new app , members will have instant access to their :
■ Membership / qualification cards and medical form – meaning members can prove their BSAC membership , diving or snorkelling qualification as well as medical status anytime , anywhere .
■ Membership information – so that members can check which plan they are on , their membership number , when their membership is due for renewal , and other details linked to their membership such as address and email ( which can be edited ).
Once the new MyBSAC app goes live , all members will be directly contacted with full details on how to download and sign up to the app . A full guide to using the MyBSAC app will also be available . There are also plans for the app to incorporate an online Qualification Record Book ( QRB ), holding digitised versions of a member ’ s training records as well as providing a facility for instructors to record progression and sign off qualifications . BSAC CEO Mary Tetley said she hoped the app would quickly become an essential tool for members to use and enjoy . “ With the BSAC strategy putting a renewed focus on enhanced communication , the MyBSAC app will become an essential part of making BSAC membership as easy and as accessible as possible .
“ And the app ’ s phase one is just the start , as there are some more exciting developments to follow , which will add even more value to the BSAC member experience .”
