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 A-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. These changes will come into effect from Round 1 in February 2025 onwards. For more information about the changes, please click here.
