Got my ARPS :)

[micloi]

After preparing a panel for the last year I finally took my ARPS exam yesterday and was notified today that I passed

I am really happy, and surprised, to have achieved this just over 2 years after I bought my first DSLR

Everyone told me that I should have tried for the LRPS first but I took the plunge and went directly for the ARPS and, thankfully, all went well.

Below is my panel, of which I was asked to send a copy to the RPS to be included in their website as a sample of the standard they are setting (again to my surprise!)

Congratulations, i also became an associate earlier in the year after skipping the lrps. It's a lot of work, but quite an achievement. Next up, the Frps?

I will be very happy to help in any way I can. My wife will probably go for the LRPS soon too!
