Being an assessor is a demanding but rewarding role which affords you the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of the membership assessment process.
Assessors are involved in one of the key stages of a planner's career, and are central to ensuring that the Institute's high professional standards are maintained. It is vital that assessors carry out assessments in a thorough and professional manner. This ensures that all candidates receive both a consistent standard of assessment and constructive feedback on their submissions.
It can be a great form of continuing professional development (CPD) and can help you broaden your understanding of what it means to be a Chartered Town Planner.
