The guild accepts applications from people working in all areas of the tent business.  Applicants are welcomed with experience of tent erecting in the mobile and permanently installed fields of operation.

Applicants must have had direct control of the erection process, not just as crew. The guild does wish to encourage those people who require further education and knowledge of the profession. In addition, the guild wishes to encourage a better understanding of the design and manufacturing  process's required for tentmaking. The applicants must have had direct involvement with the decision making and specifying of materials for manufacture. Companies are welcome to join as associate members to provide the technical links for the understanding of modern technology.

Membership Status

The guild's position is that initially all people joining will be members in waiting. As a curriculum and examination procedure are established by the guild and its elected review body, the members at that time will be called associate members. They will only become full members after formal examination. Corporate members will remain associate members, and cannot vote. It is a basic tenet of the guild that the only requirement of the applicant be his ability as a tent master. There will be no black balling, and no ethics committee. The guild has a mandate to determine professional competence only. It is the policy of the guild to remain independent of links to other associations.

The guild reserves the right to refuse membership without reason.
