Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

I had my PD last Friday (the 14th June) for Chartered membership (currently an Associate) and unfortunately don't believe it went well.

My assessor was lovely of course but I felt out my depth. I did spend time preparing etc. but I think I need to accept the fact that it is very unlikely I will be awarded the membership grade.

I know it may be another 5 weeks before I find out the outcome (I did email the relevant team to ask if there was any way I could be informed sooner but unfortunately there isn't.) and I just wanted to explore whether anyone has had a similar experience and how they moved forward once they had the confirmation they had not been successful?

Appreciate that there are a lot of success stories on the forums which is great but I think it is equally helpful to hear from others for who the outcome wasn't what they had hoped so that we can support each other and move forward positively.

It can be very isolating if it feels you are the only one who did not do well! 

Kimberley
