About P2C

The Pathway to Chartership is the new system for qualifying as a chartered landscape architect in the UK and replaces the old style Professional Practice Examination. From Autumn 2006, all Associates who wish to progress to chartered status and become a full Member of the LI will need to join the Pathway if they wish to progress.

The Pathway is based on a system of online submissions and feedback and aims to help Associates make the most of their period of qualifying experience by supporting them in developing the knowledge, skills and understanding they will need for their professional life.

While on the Pathway, Associates are mentored by a fully qualified professional member of the LI and also receive regular feedback from the Pathway supervisor. Once they have demonstrated that they are ready to move forward, they progress to the second and final stage, the oral examination. The Pathway is flexible, so Associates can progress at their own pace. It also takes into account previous learning and development.

There’s more information about the Pathway in the Members Section of the LI website including the Guidebook, information and guidance on how to make the most of the Pathway.
