The PA Chapter of APA (PA APA) is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization for the promotion of planning, and for professional planners and planning officials in the Commonwealth. The organization is a chapter of the American Planning Association (APA). It was created in 1985 by the consolidation of three separate chapters of the APA in Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Planning Association. Approximately 3,000 members strong, the PA Chapter of APA works to promote planning at all levels of the Commonwealth through trainings, the annual conference, legislative monitoring, and public awareness efforts. PA Chapter of APA members participate with various statewide and regional groups with shared values and goals. The Chapter is organized into six sections that provide local service to members and others through program meetings, local workshops, newsletters, and announcements. Since our founding in 1985, our Chapter has hosted a statewide conference, provided training to planning professionals and officials, produced a newsletter, and hosted a website since the mid 1990s. We also partner with the Penn State University Cooperative Extension to create the PMPEI Planning Education Institute). PMPEI provides training to planning commission members, zoning officers, and zoning hearing board members throughout Pennsylvania.

Planner I Written Exam- Urgent
Help Hello everyone,
I have been invited to a written exam for a Planning Technician position. All I know about the format and the content of the exam is that it will be a multiple choice exam and the questions will be job-related.
Two questions:
Is the written exam invitation usually after some sort of screening or is it for every applicant that has applied for the job position? And,
Where exactly can I learn basic knowledge of;
(as mentioned in the job posting)
municipal planning principles
Principles, and practices of urban planning and development Planning terminology, methods, materials, practices, and techniques
Applicable Federal, State, and Local laws, ordinances, codes, rules, and regulations.
Please note, I have a BS in Architectural and Environmental Design and have gained academic experience in Urban Design through a Junior Level design studio where I've done research, site documentation and analysis to design different scenarios to engage analyzed strengths and opportunities while combating weaknesses and threats. I have minimum knowledge of urban design practices to incorporate in designing comprehensive master plans for an RFQ area such as; increasing density, diversity, and mix, pedestrians first, open space design, tackle street parking, etc. My request to gain basic knowledge in the above-mentioned question is in order to do my best and achieve a relatively high score on the exam.
Any help/comments/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Urban planning students and emerging professionals.
