APIGA is an organization for teachers. This means that, in order to be eligible, you must be in possession of a university degree entitling you to teach in Galicia. This is usually a Diploma in Maxisterio or a Licenciatura in English Philology. Equivalent degrees from other countries are usually accepted. College students considering they would like to become teachers are welcome to participate in our activities but they are not, as yet, eligible to full membership.
Members pay a fee of €36,06 per year. Membership starts in January to simplify accountancy and you'll be billed in January/February of each year. This means that, if you apply for membership in, say, October, we'll recommend you to wait until January of the following year (although we'll normally let you use services such as the library).
Before applying, you should read the articles of the association. A members' general meeting is usually held once a year and it is scheduled to take place at the beginning of the annual conference (the "Xornadas").
