Expression of Interest - APM Chartered Project Professional assessment pilot

Thank you for expressing your interest in being part of our Chartered Project Professional assessment pilot.
This pilot is open to all eligible project professionals – including those who have already achieved Chartered status.
If you’re interested in taking part in our pilot, please complete this expression of interest below.
In February 2026, you’ll be notified if you’ve been successful in gaining a space on the pilot, along with further guidance on the assessment.

The competences and standard will remain the same; the pilot will only change the way that we assess whether you meet the standard.

All pilot candidates will be on Pathway 1 – all elements of the assessment will need to be taken.
The pilot will be available at a reduced fee of £693 + VAT, which will need to be funded by yourself or your employer prior to taking the assessment. This will be payable once we have confirmed your space on the pilot in early 2026.

Current ChPP holders can take part for no fee or risk of losing ChPP status if unsuccessful.

If you have any question, please contact the team - chartereddevelopmentteam@apm.org.uk
