Pathway to Chartership Examiners
Posted by: Landscape Institute Recruitment
Posted date: 09 Mar 2010
Location: UK wide
The LI wishes to appoint further experienced Members and Fellows of the LI to join our pool of Examiners. The successful applicants for these posts will normally be CMLIs of a minimum of five years standing with experience of the Pathway either as a Mentor or Supervisor. All Examiners are volunteers although all travel and overnight expenses are paid, in line with the LI’s expenses policy.
The Pathway to Chartership was launched in December 2006 and has since helped more than 300 members become chartered. There are currently more than 450 Candidates working towards the oral exam, supported by almost 400 Mentors and 29 Supervisors. Each year approximately 180 Candidates are examined in either May or November at venues in London and Manchester.
The Oral Exam is the final assessment stage of the Pathway to Chartership and requires the Candidate to substantiate the scores they have received from their Mentor during their time on the Pathway. This is achieved through their questioning by two chartered members of the LI, the Examiners, who ask questions based on the Candidate’s Development Packs and the Mentor’s Reviews. The Pathway differs to its predecessor, the PPE, in that there are no set questions. The role of Examiner is therefore a very important one and requires responsible, knowledgeable and professional people to carry it out.
Examinations are usually held in May and November each year in both London and Manchester. Examiners are asked to volunteer for at least one day per year for examinations. Some additional time is also necessary for preparation before the examinations.
For more information about the Pathway to Chartership, the Examiner post, and a job description, please contact Alex Whittaker at the LI on 0207 299 4535 or email pathway@landscapeinstitute.org. Applications should be in the form of a CV plus a completed application form, included when you request further information. Applications should reach the LI by midday on Wednesday 24th March.
Successful applicants will need to be able to attend a half day training event on the afternoon of either May 10th in Manchester or May 17th in London. If are not available on one of these dates you should still apply but will not be considered for the Examiner role until you have attended a future training event.
