1) Read the APC main guidance document
Everything you need to know about applying for Chartered membership is contained in the main guidance document on our website. There is one for each of the four routes to Chartered membership.
If you don’t know which route is most suitable for you, please contact the Membership team for advice.
Top tip
As well as the main guidance document for each route, there are also Advice Notes and other resources online which provide additional help and guidance.
2) Book place on free of charge APC webinar
The Membership team run a series of free of charge webinars, that cover each aspect of the APC process. They are either half an hour or a full hour and take place around lunchtime.
Places can be booked here.
3) Submit your APC submission by the assessment deadline
There are four first time submission windows per year, in February, May, August and November. The exact submission date can be found on the How to Submit webpage.
If you are resubmitting there are four resubmission windows in January, April, July and October.
You must corroborate your submission. You may submit as many Corroborator Declaration Forms as necessary. Your sponsor has to be a Chartered member, but your corroborator(s) are not required to be. Your sponsor and corroborator could be the same person, but don’t have to be.
Top tip
Please use your mentor, corroborator(s) and sponsor for support as you finalize your submission.
