I am not yet underway in my application for chartership but I have possibly one of the sillier questions to be asked on this forum! I presume that all candidates - regardless of chartering through Route A or B- have to submit an Evaluation and Portfolio of Personal Professional Development at the end of the training period in order to gain the qualification? Also, should this work be undertaken once the training period is complete or should it compliment the training timeframe and be ready for submission once the year(s) is over.
