Get all the resources to prepare a successful application for Chartered membership from January 2020
The updates to the RTPI Code of Professional Conduct came into force on 1 February 2023. Candidates applying for the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) or for Associate and Legal Associate membership, can refer to the old version of the Code of Professional Conduct in their Round 1 or Round 1 Resubmissions. Candidates can refer to the updated version in Round 1 or Round 1 re-subs, if they wish. However, from Round 2 onwards (15 May 2023 submission deadline), candidates should only refer to the updated version. For more information regarding the updated Code of Professional Conduct, please click here.
Please look over the key differences between the L-APC and the EP-APC requirements to ensure you are following the correct guidance.
Important: Change to Reflective Journal requirement
In July 2024, RTPI announced an important change regarding the requirement for candidates to submit a Reflective Journal as part of your APC submission. This change only affects candidates applying for Chartered membership via the L-APC and A-APC routes only. Whilst this change does not affect candidates applying via this route, if you would like to know more, please click here.
