Spent a good day yesterday at the APM's RPP Assessors' training day.
It's great to see how committed to the standard everybody is.
RPP (Registered Project Professional) is also being well supported by more and more organisations, and in time it's likely to become the first thing employers look for when recruiting Programme/Project Managers. One or two corporates have already declared that it will be compulsory when they recruit in future.
The verification process that has been added to the assessment process should ensure that all candidates receive a consistent evaluation, and in time all assessors will achieve a common view of what constitutes a successful application.
Once APM achieves Chartered status for this denomination the slow burn of applications we are seeing at present will become a raging fire!
I'm really pleased to have been part of it right from the start.
