Yes, I'm confused too. I believe that I completed my qualifying period at the end of December 2002. However, the letters from CILIP have only served to panic me, as they seem to think I should have completed my two years by October 2001. Except I am on Route B, which I believed took two years to qualify, and I didn't start my professional post until January 2001. Do I assume from this, as others are, that I have until Oct 2004 to submit? (Not that I want it to take that long!)
