I'm not a believe in prescriptive approaches to studying for the APC, as every candidate's personal and financial situation is different.

Ideally, this e-learning platform should be used alongside some personal coaching, as there are many situations that are unique to each candidate.

Submission review is a service that can include:

• reading your proposed submission
• checking for validity (competencies, levels, CPD etc.)
• commenting on suitability of experience examples and case study, with suggestions for improvements
• grammatical and typographical errors
• providing specific likely questions, not covered on the website

There is no fixed charge for a Submission review, rather I discuss the brief with the client and try to adjust to their budget. If your budget is unlimited, expect at least three hours for a full review, from scratch. This will be cheaper if I have been coaching you, as I will already have provided advice on examples and probably have proof-read it already.

Mocks are essential for ultimate preparation. They familiarise the candidate with structure, timing and feel of the final assessment process.

Ideally, you would have three experienced assessors but that would be costly (unless you have this in house). A suitable alternative is one or two assessors, but make sure that you are going to get 30 minutes of technical questioning on your case study, not 15 minutes of technicals and 15 minutes of mandatories because that is not what happens in the real thing!

Q&A sessions are like mini mocks but are structured around your competencies. A typical Q&A might last an hour, and include two or three technicals plus several mandatories with a heavy emphasis on Ethics. These are ideal in the run-up to a mock or as further practice once you've had a mock and need to brush up on some areas. These are also charged on an hourly rate.

Your Supervisor has to sign off that your work is your own. I do not see how an external advisor can do this, it should be a senior colleague. I am, however, prepared to take on the responsibility for 'signing off' your APC preparation to a line manager, with them signing off your professional work. This is a free service for candidates on an APCanswers structured training programme.

Structured training is engaging APCanswers to be responsible for setting your APC revision programme, including CPD.

Again, this can be flexibly-priced, to suit budget and proposals are modular allowing candidates and their employer to pick and mix between components e.g. monthly or quarterly calls, submission reviews, mocks Q&As etc.
