Finally 'Chartered' via the Experience Assessment route!

So.... I have been an Associate member for years as, for personal reasons, I didn't finish the whole of what is now the Level 7 course.

I finally got my act together and decided to apply for the experience assessment rather than start the whole course again and still have to have the assessment!

Results are through today - and I've passed!! Finally Chartered!!  Such a relief!  We are going through an incredibly busy time at work and so much went wring while I was completing the assessment.  The hard work paid off!! 

Won't be able to celebrate for a few days but definitely deserve a glass of bubbly!

So if you are thinking about routes - go for it - the timing is never right - and it is a considered cost!  But - I think it was worth it in the end!

  • Congratulations! this gives me hope. I am just about to embark on the same and have to admit I am finding it all rather daunting, having not studied for many years. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
  • Hi Caroline,

    My advice is really to take it slowly and don't panic. Start making lots of notes of examples that you can use in your answers and also different ones that you can use for your professional discussion. I blew up the wheel and put examples in so that I could work from that.

    With regards the case study - give yourself ample time.... they recommend to spend the first week reading and digesting it - they are absolutely right. There will be a lot of information for you to think about. Don't rush into it.

    Hope that helps... and good luck....
