What is The ChPP Assessment like?

The assessment is in two parts, the first a written application and the second an interview. Depending on the route, there are different demands..

All three routes require your professional practice to be current and if not a professionally active statement is required.

Route 1 requires a professional practice written application and a one-hour interview focussed on it.

Route 2 requires a short-written application and a 30-minute interview

Route 3 requires a professional practice written application and a two-hour interview focussed on it and your technical knowledge.

Despite the help the APM provide, we find that most delegates will benefit from some level of support.

We have remarkable success supporting delegates through routes 1 and 3, most find it surprising how tricky the application can be.
