The APM ChPP application process is complex and can be tricky to navigate. Parallel have become experts in coaching delegates from all backgrounds and industries through the ChPP process.
This self-paced guidance course includes video lectures, a full podcast series and a paper study guide, to guide you through the application process and the requirements of it. We will give you all of the necessary hints and tips for the process, give you a complete guide on how to complete the various sections of the written application, and then give you a briefing on how to competently complete the interview assessment.
All of our eLearning is hosted on our eLearning portal, which you will be granted access to as soon as you complete your purchase.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
