Another successful PDS Completion - Chris Shipway of Jacobs

Chris is the first PDS completion from Jacobs, and the fourth to have their final review conducted by videoconference.  He was mentored by Emma Hext who sat in on the review and provided useful feedback on our web based approach from a user perspective.  With more remote reviews scheduled, and mentor training now adapted to remote working, the TPS Skills team is fully functional despite the COVID lockdown.

Chris said that:

“I’m really proud to have completed the TPS Professional Development Scheme and be the first person in Jacobs to have done so. The PDS allowed me to demonstrate what I’ve learnt at the start of my career, how I’ve developed as a transport planner and my commitment to the profession. Completing the PDS marks a key milestone in my career whilst providing me with a solid platform to progress the Transport Planning Professional qualification.”

Keith Buchan, TPS Skills Director said:

"Best wishes to Chris for his achievement, we welcome him to the growing community of transport planners who have completed PDS and can now also use the title Incorporated Transport Planner: IncTP.  As he says, PDS will provide him with a sound basis for moving forward to TPP. Despite the many personal and working challenges caused by Covid the TPS skills team continues to do what it can to retain and develop skills at this difficult time.  We are ready to provide advice and support through full use of the web including final reviews such as this.  Please get in touch!”
