The APC is the main route to becoming a Chartered Town Planner. It is aimed at graduates of accredited courses working towards Corporate Membership of the RTPI, but there are many other stakeholders involved. It is the route to Chartered status for all graduates of accredited courses.

Applicants without an accredited qualification will continue to apply for Corporate Membership under our Special Entry arrangements.

Planning schools have a role in preparing students for these requirements and Corporate Members may participate by volunteering to become mentors to support Licentiates on this route. Employers will also play a key role in supporting their new graduates, and any mentors within their organisation, to minimise any barriers that Licentiates may face in gaining their professional qualification.
