Candidate4s will be expected to show at least a year of CPD so if you want to apply you need to maintain you record now. Presumably those PMI members who collect PDU’s will be able to submit these. 3)A personal statement (not sure what size yet) but demonstrating you competence to manage project of reasonable complexity 4)Interview with a panel, this may cause logistic problems for the apm if lots of people apply at the same time. It looks like no existing members will get automatic transfer.
