Thank you for this - I was about to post to this the list with the exact
same question! I'm about to start a new job, which will cut into 2 weeks of
my Route A training year. I won't be changing supervisors, as my supervisor
is external to my current post, but I was concerned about finishing the year
off and writing the report.
I'm now reassured that changing jobs doesn't have to mean that chartership
is put on hold, even if i will end up procrasting.
