for those who have a recognised assessment for technical knowledge
Route 3
Routes to chartered
Route 3 is an experiential route for project professionals who do not have a recognised assessment but do meet the eligibility criteria.
In order to become a Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) you will need to meet the following criteria:
- having a proven track record delivering projects, programmes, portfolios or a key control or enabling function and;
- having up-to-date knowledge of current practices and methods and;
- being actively involved in the project profession
Your assessment of technical knowledge will be completed via an interview.
Your assessment of professional practice will be completed via a written submission and interview.
In order for you to do this you will need to provide evidence for this. There are three steps to this:
- Decide which competences you are going to provide evidence for - you will need to complete a total of 12 competences (ten are mandatory and two are elective from a list of 15).
- Provide overviews of up to four projects, programmes or portfolios that you will use to illustrate them (maximum 500 words per project overview).
- Write up to 250 words for each competence, referring back to the relevant project overview.
You will also be asked to declare that you have kept up to date through CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and give your proposers’ details.
Your application will be assessed at this stage, and if successful you will be invited to an up to two hour interview covering:
- Professional practice: validating your written submission.
- Technical knowledge: technical questioning to assess your breadth of knowledge.
- Ethics.
