Existing, experienced assessors are also able to assess applications for the non-accredited A-APC and EP-APC routes to Chartered membership, and the Associate class. This is a great opportunity for skilled assessors to build on their years of experience by assessing candidates who come from a variety of educational backgrounds and have a broad range of experience.
