Your chartered assessment will encompass three separate units, and will take you approximately six months to complete, with assessments undertaken every two months.

All units will be assessed by an industry expert assessor and internally verified to ensure standards are adhered to.

For each unit, there is one assessment, and you can select either a presentation or professional discussion.

You will develop a portfolio of evidence which will be used to support your assessments. Examples of evidence are detailed in the Candidate Guide provided to you following a discussion with our Chartered Membership Lead.
