What is assessed for the ChPP programme?
The application process is designed to assess the following areas:
- Technical knowledge: advanced technical knowledge and understanding of how to deliver projects, programmes or portfolios taking into account many interacting factors and different approaches that could be taken.
- Professional practice: successful application of this knowledge to deliver projects, programmes or portfolios that involved uncertainty or conflicting objectives; high levels of unpredictability or risk; multiple work packages, projects or programmes; multiple interdependent stakeholders, possibly with competing interests.
You will need to commit to professional ethics and show continuing professional development (CPD). You will also need two proposers who support your application.
