The Professional Self-Evaluation (PSE) is the most important part of a Chartered Geographer application. Each applicant should make an explicit case as to why they want to become a Chartered Geographer.

The evaluation should:

• Be typed and no more than 1,000 words
• Clearly describe all relevant geographical experience and knowledge
• Clearly describe how you are applying your geographical skills and knowledge to your work
• Show how this constitutes a case for Chartered Geographer
• Demonstrate that you are advancing geography above and beyond your job description and everyday work requirements
• Show a commitment to Continuing Professional Development
• Provide an explicit statement as to why you wish to become a Chartered Geographer
• State how you will use the post-nominal in the future.
• It should not just be an extension of your CV or biographical in style

Applications that do not mention Geography or Chartered Geographer will not be accepted. Information about travel and hobbies is not appropriate.
