Description:

The Chartered Project Professional standard is open to anyone, perhaps a Project Manager, Programme Manager, Project Office Manager or perhaps one of the supporting functions such as Risk Analyst or Estimator. Whoever does seek to obtain the recognition may be coming from a wide variety of different backgrounds and educational achievement. They will need to decide whether they are eligible and particularly if they are ‘professionally active’. This means

  1. having a proven track record delivering projects, programmes, portfolios or a key control or enabling function; and
  2. having up-to-date knowledge of current practices and methods; and
  3. being actively involved in the project management profession.

If most of the evidence provided in an application is more than five years old, they can still apply, and they will just need to explain how they continue to meet points b) and c) above. They can do this through their CPD and their project overviews.

There are five main components of any application which are

 

  • Personal Information (such as name, address, etc)
  • Referees
  • Project Overviews
  • Evidence of CPD
  • Evidence of understanding and complying with professionalism and ethics.

In addition to these there are two further (and by far and away the largest) sections. Applicants will need to demonstrate their ‘Advanced Technical Knowledge’ and ‘Professional Practice’ (of that knowledge). The nature of this submission will vary depending on whether or not they have a ‘Recognised Assessment’ which can provide exemption from one or both of these aspects.

The way the APM have arranged the application process is for individuals to apply through one of three Routes which are

 

  • Route 1: for those who have a Recognised Assessment for Technical Knowledge.
  • Route 2: for those who have a Recognised Assessment for Technical Knowledge and

Professional Practice.

  • Route 3: an experiential Route for those who do not have a Recognised Assessment but do meet the eligibility criteria.
