This much sought-after recognition standard results from a commitment to continuing professional development (CPD), to maintaining high professional standards and to continually developing professional language skills and specialist knowledge.

But what is a chartered professional? “A Chartered professional is a person who has gained a specific level of skill or competence in a particular field of work, which has been recognised by the award of a formal credential by a relevant professional organization. Chartered status is considered a mark of professional competency, and is awarded mainly by chartered professional bodies and learned societies. Common in Britain, it is also used in Ireland, the United States and the Commonwealth, and has been adopted by organizations around the world.”, from Wikipedia.
