I have been an associate member for many years. That membership status was coming to an end, so the choice was to terminate my membership or go down the APEL route. I chose to remain a CIOB member.
I found it difficult to make sense of how my professional experience could be matched effectively to the criterial. This was made easier with my tutor. My tutor Gerard helped me to identify and understand what information was required in the questions. Through our discussions, Gerard helped to draw out and refine relevant examples of my experience.
If you are a person who is good at visualising ideas and experiences but not great at expressing these in writing, I highly recommend Training LMS as they provide guidance and encouragement to support you on your professional journey.
