| Is membership free? It certainly is, you don't think we'd make people pay to join such a public-spirited institution, do you? Free Diploma |
| Why is the ISMS motto 'Back to Quo Vadis'? As we explain in the blurb about the ISMS Coat of Arms, the President has a strong desire to maintain the status quo, consequently he can often be heard to say that we need to 'get back to quo vadis'. We know he means status quo, but hey where's the nonsense in that. Hence, the adoption of 'Back to Quo Vadis' as the motto for the Institution; it seemed to be the perfect embodiment of all things ismatical. |
| How can I win an ISMS Award? You'll need to work through the following pages: background to the Awards; the ISMS award aims, the criteria that you must meet; the ISMS rating system that we use and finally, fill in the ISMS application form. You can view our Awards and see current winners by following this link: ISMS Awards |
| Can I add a link to your site from my site? Yes you can. You can add a straight text link to www.isms.org.uk or you can copy and paste the HTML code into your link page. See here for details of how to link to our site. Please let us know if you link to our site so that, if necessary, we can add a reciprocal link to yours. |
| Is this Institution for real, or what? Of course it's for real! The Institution has been around for many years, at least since 1973, but only recently has it acquired the technology to produce a hi-tec public and member interface. Prior to that, but at the same time, written records were kept. You too can be certified by the ISMS. FREE ISMS Diploma |
| Are all of the isms genuine? Yes they are - at least 95% are certifiable. They have all been heard at first hand by members of the ISMS. |
| There appear to be a lot of mis-spellings throughout the site. Why? Not true. All spellings have been verified by the ISMS LFG dictionary. Anyhow, some of the isms would make little sense if the were spelled 'correctly', spelling is phonetic in some cases. |

If you would like to use anything contained on this site please contact us first by email. Alternatively, put a link on your website to our site, or a specific page on our site. We'll do the same for you - if you ask - and that way everyone gains. |
