[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’re ready to take on your first candidate on the Pathway but don’t know how to start, follow this P2C exam toolkit for Mentors<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Register as a Mentor<\/h5>\n

After the informal discussion with the P2C candidate about taking up the role of their Mentor, they’ll go and register on the Pathway with a recommendation of you being their Mentor. This will be confirmed via an email that the Landscape Institute will send you that you’ll have to confirm your acceptance.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to register yourself on the Pathway (again!). If you’ve recently passed your exam, you’re possibly already in the P2C system but your account is most likely not active. If this is the case, you’ll need to contact the LI membership department and let them know of the requirement of the account being re-activated as a Mentor this time and it’ll be done for you.<\/p>\n

Initial review<\/h5>\n

When you’re officially the candidate’s Mentor in the LI’s system, you’ll have access to submitting information for your candidate’s progress. This is required to occur quarterly (every 3 months), 4 times a year until the candidate has been deemed ready to be put forward for the exam. There’s no requirement to submit a progress report after the candidate has been accepted for the exam.<\/p>\n

From there it’s completely up to the candidate to set the beginning of the process for both of you, as they might register for the Pathway yet delay the submission of their first development package, as this is tied in with the initial review. This is where you as a Mentor need to be driving your candidate’s progress positively and push them towards an early start so that they don’t waste their time and manage their time effectively.<\/p>\n

Assuming that you’ve arranged for the initial review to be held, you need to organise the session in a way that you will get the assessment sorted within a reasonable time and be confident that you haven’t over\/under-scored your candidate while in a rush to get it done quickly. The initial review is possibly one of the most important reviews (together with the one immediately prior to putting the candidate forward for the exam) as it lays down the candidate’s knowledge and experience level and creates the roadmap for the following 2 years on average.<\/p>\n
