Description

APM Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) is the gold standard for project management professionals, and involves a testing application process.

This self-paced course includes videos, podcasts and a paper study guide to guide you through the application process and the requirements of it. We will also discuss hints and tips for the process, and give you a guide for how to complete the various sections of the written application and how to competently complete the interview assessment.

The course is designed and delivered by experienced project managers, who have not only achieved ChPP status themselves, but have a wealth of experience guiding other candidates successfully through the application process.

Topics Covered

Module 1. Introduction to ChPP concepts
In this module we introduce you to the application process. We give you a study plan to take you through start to finish and give you a template to complete the submission. We also start to talk about some of the basic concepts – application routes, technical knowledge, professional practice, CPD, ethics, interviews and more.

Module 2. Continuous Personal Development and Ethics
In this module we look into the requirements for CPD in your application. This may be more or less relevant for you depending on your application route, but there is always a requirement to maintain a CPD log when you receive Chartered status. Being a Chartered Professional means behaving in an ethical manner, and we will look at the commitment to ethics that you must make to become chartered.

Module 3. Technical Knowledge and Professional Practice
As part of your ChPP application you will need to be able to display your technical knowledge and your professional practice. This means showing that you have knowledge of the underlying processes and theories, whilst also relying on your experience of running projects to display your ability to put these into practice. The Professional Practice and Technical Knowledge areas to be demonstrated include 9 mandatory competences plus a further 1 from 2, making 10 in total. You can find all of these in the table below. This module will introduce you to both of these areas and discuss what you will need to display in both.

Module 4. Writing Your Project Overviews
Your project overviews will form the basis of your written submission. It is therefore very important that they are well thought out, relevant and display the competencies that you intend to focus on later in the submission. In this module we will help guide you through choosing which project to write up and give you guidance on what to and not to include.

Module 5. Writing your Professional Practice Statements
This is where you display the competencies that are required to complete your chartership. Writing your professional practice statements is probably the most challenging part of the application, as you need to tick a lot of boxes in not a lot of words. In this module we take an in depth look into how to write your statements.

Module 6. Interview Techniques
Once you have got through your written application you will be invited to attend an interview with two APM assessors. As with any interview it is vitally important that you prepare well for the interview. We have a wealth of experience with preparing delegates for the interview, and in this
