This is a structured tool designed to help you assess your confidence against the ISEP Sustainability Skills Map at your chosen membership level. It gives you tailored insights into the areas where you feel strong and highlights opportunities to build confidence and focus your professional development.
Select the membership level that reflects the standard you want to meet, not just your current level
This isn’t about getting it “right.” It’s about assessing yourself against the level you’re aiming for, so you can clearly see what’s already strong and what to develop next.
Before you begin, take a moment to reflect. For each competency area, you’ll be asked to rate how confident you feel in your knowledge, skills, and ability to apply them in practice.
This isn’t a test, and there are no right or wrong answers. The goal is honest self-assessment.
How consistently you apply this skill in your role
Whether you could confidently explain or defend your decisions
If you have practical examples or measurable outcomes to evidence your capability
Whether you could demonstrate this competency at the level expected for your chosen membership
Low confidence: I have limited experience or knowledge in this area
Moderate confidence: I understand this area and have some applied experience
High confidence: I apply this consistently, independently, and could evidence my competence
The more honest your responses, the more valuable your personalised feedback will be. Professional progression starts with clear self-awareness.
Your results are more than feedback, they’re a practical starting point for professional growth.
After you are finished you will receive your results in a web version but also in a pdf that you can save. You can use your skills gap outcomes to identify clear development actions which you can discuss with your line manager or mentor or use it to help guide you. Reviewing it with your line manager or mentor can help ensure your progression is aligned with both your career goals and your organisation’s sustainability priorities.
We suggest that you use your results and:
Record your development goals in the CPD template
Log relevant activities, learning, and achievements
Track your progress over time as your confidence and competence grow
By documenting your CPD, you’re not only strengthening your professional practice — you’re building evidence that can support future membership upgrades.
Progression becomes far more achievable when it’s planned, recorded, and reviewed.
Start today, and let your development reflect the level you’re working towards.
