Being a CIH member allows you to apply for a free TOTUM membership to access a wealth of savings on your everyday essentials. TOTUM is the new name for the NUS student card, which unlocks brilliant discounts on many brands, from keeping fit and dining, to travel and luxury items.
If you are a current CIH member or a CIH learner studying for one of our professional qualifications, TOTUM is for you. With hundreds of discounts from famous brands and local independents, having a free TOTUM membership could make juggling the pressures of work and study a little bit easier.
