9) Work with your co-assessor to mark candidates’ APC submissions
The Membership team partner new assessors with experienced assessors, so they can help support you as you start your assessing journey.
Assessors are trained to mark candidates’ submissions independently and then come together and agree the assessment outcomes and agree the key points to go on the feedback form.
Candidates receive a feedback form, regardless if they were successful or deferred.
The Membership team will provide details of the assessment period and what deadlines you are working to. Typically, you will have approx. two weeks to complete the marking of all the allocated submissions in a particular assessment round.
The APC process is quality assured by the Membership Assessment Advisory Panel (MAAP), who consist of a cross section of members, and they ensure the correct assessment process is followed and all candidates are treated fairly.
10) Complete mid-year training and update
Each year the Membership team will provide mid-year updates and advice, to help support assessors as well as sharing best practice and updates. There may be a training task to complete too.
11) Sign up to be an assessor for next year
If you enjoyed being an assessor, please sign up in October to be an assessor in the following year.
We would not be able to elect new Chartered members without the hard work and professionalism of the assessors. Thank you to all our assessors who give up their time to support young planners as they take the next step in their career.
If you know any of your colleagues who would make a good assessor, please encourage them to apply.
