Thank you for your application.

There are three stages to becoming chartered: the application form, exam, and interview.

Thank you for submitting your application form, which is the initial stage of your route to chartership. This will now be reviewed and you will be contacted using the details you have provided.

You may be given a chance to improve upon your application if information is lacking; however applications that don’t show the required knowledge, skills and behaviours will be rejected.

Once your application has been approved your pathway will follow one of two routes:

• Exam and interview (viva) or
• Interview only (if you have completed an appropriate exam within the last two years).

Depending on which category of chartership you are applying for, different exams map to the required skill level. The CHECK Scheme examination standard has been mapped against the UK Cyber Security Council Standard for Professional Competence and Commitment (UKCSC SPCC) and approved as a means of testing  technical knowledge requirements.

For registrants applying through The Cyber Scheme, this means:

• For Chartered Title, applicants are required to pass or hold The Cyber Scheme’s CSTL exam (App or Inf) to proceed with their application.
• For Principal Title applications, registrants are required to pass or hold The Cyber Scheme’s  CSTM exam.
• The Associate Title will most likely map to The Cyber Scheme’s Fundamentals exam (CSFL), however this is still in development so please get in touch if you’d like to know more about applying at this level.
