Event Description

Are you preparing for your APC, or thinking about taking this important next step in your planning career? We know that getting started can feel a bit daunting — but you don’t have to do it alone.

The RTPI Membership Team and RTPI Yorkshire are hosting an informative event in Leeds designed to guide you through the APC process. 

Whether you’re just starting to think about your application or are already preparing your submission, this session will provide valuable insights, practical advice, and an opportunity to ask questions. It’s a great way to build on what you’ve already learned and feel more confident about the journey ahead.

You will also hear from those in the early stages of their careers and their journey to Chartership. 

The event will  be a chance to connect with like-minded planning professionals and students from across Yorkshire — expanding your network and sharing experiences with others on a similar path.

Learning outcomes

Why attend?

  • Whatever stage you are at, this event will provide you with essential guidance on achieving success in your submission. The session is suitable for people following any of the four routes to Chartered membership (L-APC, A-APC, EP-APC or DA-APC).
  • You will be briefed on what’s involved in preparing an application, what you need to include and how you present it. It is also a fantastic opportunity to ask questions and hear from others preparing their submissions.
