For those who meet the eligibility criteria but don’t have a recognised assessment.
Pathway 2 to ChPP
Pathway 2 is for project professionals who meet the eligibility criteria and have a recognised assessment for technical knowledge.
What is the eligibility criteria?
To apply for chartered status, you must be professionally active and meet the following criteria:
- Proven experience in delivering projects, programmes, portfolios, or key control/enabling functions.
- Up-to-date knowledge of current practices and methods.
- Active involvement in the project management profession.
If the evidence provided is more than five years old, a currency statement is required to demonstrate how you continue to meet the above criteria.
How do I apply via Pathway 2?
When you have a recognised assessment that demonstrates your technical knowledge, you can apply through Pathway 2. You will follow a two-stage process: a written submission, followed by an interview.
Stage 1 - Written submission
- Evidence of achieving a recognised assessment.
- Overviews of between one and four projects, programmes or portfolios to provide context for
further evidence. - Written statements covering professional practice in the required competences.
- Confirmation of CPD undertaken as required by APM’s scheme during the past 12 months.
- Details of two proposers.
- Agreement to commit to and comply with the APM Code of Professional Conduct.
Stage 2 - Interview
If your written submission is successful, you’ll be invited to a one hour 15 minute interview covering:
- Exploration and validation of your professional practice from your written submission.
- Ethics, compliance, and professionalism.
