(b)a rule made by an employer,

subsection (4A) applies to any person who is, or is genuinely and actively seeking to become, one of his employees.

(a)who is, or is genuinely and actively seeking to become, a member of the organisation, authority or body,

(b)on whom the organisation, authority or body has conferred an authorisation or qualification, or

(c)who is genuinely and actively seeking an authorisation or qualification which the organisation, authority or body has power to confer.
