PINNACLE®
Your Chartered Project Professional Application Platform
Why PINNACLE®?
Applying to become a Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) takes time, commitment and plenty of stamina as you prepare a comprehensive explanation of your project experience by writing up to 5,000 carefully chosen words.
Those who have already attained this sought after accreditation will recognise the value of a personal mentor. Someone who will support you, who knows the process, understands what is expected and can cast their critical eye over the accuracy, compliance and readability as you draft your application. If only they could work alongside you 24/7.
That’s why we have developed PINNACLE® our proprietary ChPP application platform, providing a smart set of features that will remotely support you through the ChPP Stage 1 written application. Available at any time, in any place you choose to work and working at your own preferred pace – fast or slow.
PINNACLE® will help keep you focused and validate your content as you write, providing you with constant reminders of good practice, keeping you focused on the assessment criteria and helping you to demonstrate your evidence within the very restrictive word counts.
This focus and support will help to both increase the quality of your application and reduce the time spent writing it, bringing you more swiftly to the all-important Stage 2 Interview.
In addition, should you choose PINNACLE® Solo+ or PINNACLE® Platinum packages, you will benefit from additional review(s) from a ChPP Mentor who will provide comprehensive feedback and suggestions for improvement.
