What they said about us

Chartership really helps in the continuing professionalisation of the organisations approach to change. This sort of thing carries weight with the Exec Team, we are a new profession and often have to remind the organisation that it is a profession in its own right. The Project Academy’s ChPP accreditation programme was essential to helping me gain chartered status.

Mike Hudson, Programme Director at National Trust

I have gained a more conscious understanding of practice in terms of project management and delivering projects (applying particular tools/techniques). Using knowledge to input to development of areas of project profession within the National Trust.
