*Phase-Out of Chartered Membership through Standard Entry

Chartered Membership through standard entry will be phased out and replaced by the APC in 2009. Applications through standard entry will be accepted until 31 December 2008. Please note that the RTPI's offices close for the Christmas period on Tuesday 23rd December and reopen on Monday 5th January. The Membership Team will therefore not be able to assist with enquiries during this time, so it is strongly recommended that all applications are submitted before the office closure.

Applications received by the 29 August and the 28 November 2008 deadlines will be considered at the 17 October 2008 and 23 January 2009 meetings of the Membership Panel respectively. Applications received after 29 November and before 31 December 2008 will be considered at the 17 April 2009 meeting of the Membership Panel.
