Anyone starting the APE membership process may find it useful to hear how other professionals approached their preparation. One point that seems easy to overlook is checking the conditions ape applicants need to satisfy before deciding which evidence to include. Your previous work may contain plenty of suitable examples, but they still need to be connected clearly to the relevant expectations. Taking time to review your career history from that perspective can make the preparation more meaningful. If you want additional guidance, the College of Contract Management provides APE Professional Membership Coaching. Enrolling could help if you would rather have some support while preparing your application. Hopefully, this gives anyone considering APE membership another resource to investigate.
