The Professional Interview is the final stage of assessment to attain Chartered Membership.
 


For those who have completed the Professional Assessment:

The Professional Assessment Interview will be primarily based around the information provided in your Professional Assessment application. The Assessors will want to find out about:

  • your professional background
  • knowledge of the construction process and experience in relation to the four core areas
  • overall experience in industry


The Professional Assessment Interview is designed to be a flexible, personal qualifying process, which will enable the Assesors to determine your level of experience and professionalism according to your area of practice.

You must bring along a portfolio of evidence on the day of your interview. For overseas members, the Interview is held via video conferencing on Skype or MS Teams.
