PDS success for Amey

Many congratulations to Anna Koddenberg from Amey who has successfully completed the PDS and can now use the post nominal IncTP (Incorporated Transport Planner).  Anna is based in Edinburgh and is one of six transport planners this year to be awarded a PDS completion – all of whom were based outside London.  This is part of the picture of the growing number of successful completions across the UK.  The follow through to TPP is also clear, 10 PDS completers have already achieved CTPP. 

Anna said:

“I am delighted to have completed the TPS Professional Development Scheme after three years. Completing the PDS has been very rewarding, and it has given me the opportunity to explore a wide range of issues related to transport planning. I would like to give a special thank you to my mentor David as well as Keith for their support and guidance throughout this process. I look forward to deepening my knowledge and experience further as I start working on my Portfolio of Evidence with the goal of achieving chartership.”

Anna’s mentor, David Low said:

“I am very proud of Anna for successfully completing the TPS Professional Development Scheme. Her dedication, hard work and commitment over the past three years have definitely paid off. It is fantastic that the PDS exists as it provides tangible recognition of all the knowledge and experience that Anna has gained since joining Amey. I know that completing the PDS will make Anna even more determined to achieve the CTPP qualification in the near future.”

Keith Buchan, TPS Skills Director said:

"Congratulations to Anna for her achievement, we welcome her to the growing community of transport planners who have completed PDS and can now also use the title Incorporated Transport Planner: IncTP.  Amey is a strong supporter of PDS and this result illustrates the value our skills partners find in PDS participation.  We look forward to even more trainees following Anna’s excellent example.”
