What is the Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) standard?
The Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) standard is a professional benchmark that demonstrates attainment of a defined level of technical knowledge, professional practice and ethical behaviour.
This forms the basis of the assessment that you must pass to gain Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) status, and the inclusion on the Register of Chartered Project Professionals.

Chartering a safer future for the built environment
Do you work in the built environment? As of 1 October 2023 you now need to prove you have the competence or are supervised by a competent project professional as defined in the Buildings Safety Act to manage the construction of buildings of any size. Our chartered standard has been named as a way of proving professional competence. Those who hold ChPP and have the relevant experience in the built environment, will be regarded as being able to demonstrate competence until September 2025.
You can find out more about the changes here. Register your place for the upcoming webinar.

What is a recognised assessment?
A recognised assessment is awarded to an organisation who can show that a particular development programme or qualification meets either the technical knowledge or the technical knowledge and professional practice criteria needed to achieve the standard.
This means that if you have successfully passed the assessment you’ll be eligible to apply for the Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) standard via Route 1 (for assessments meeting the requirements for technical knowledge) or Route 2 (for assessments meeting the requirements for technical knowledge and professional practice).
Assessment cycle dates
We process applications through an assessment cycle.
