What is the Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) standard?
Chartered status shows you’ve achieved the highest standard of expertise and have proven your exceptional project capabilities, through a defined level of technical knowledge, professional practice and ethical behaviour.
The standard has been designed to be equally accessible to individuals both with or without project management qualifications (APM or others) but with significant relevant experience of projects, programmes or portfolios. It’s drawn from the APM Competence Framework.
We recognise the diverse paths individuals take into the profession, offering four pathways to ChPP.

Chartering a safer future for the built environment
Do you work in the built environment? As of 1 October 2023 you now need to prove you have the competence or are supervised by a competent project professional as defined in the Buildings Safety Act to manage the construction of buildings of any size. Our chartered standard has been named as a way of proving professional competence. Those who hold ChPP and have the relevant experience in the built environment, will be regarded as being able to demonstrate competence until September 2025.
