Achieving professional status with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is a significant milestone for people in land, property, construction, or infrastructure. However, the process to become a Chartered Member (MRICS) or Associate Member (AssocRICS) can be challenging.

For candidates, navigating the complex requirements of the RICS Assessment can be overwhelming. CDRAustralia.Org provides specialized professional support specifically to the RICS framework, ensuring your submission meets the highest global standards.

What is the RICS Assessment?

The RICS assessment is an essential document that ensures candidates have the technical skills, ethics, and business knowledge required to meet global surveying standards (RICS). Some expert tips to qualify for RICS (depending on background):

• Assessment of Professional Competence (APC): The most common way requires structured training (12-24 months) or a preliminary review for experienced professionals.
• Senior Professional Assessment: For those who are in leadership roles with over 10 years of experience.
• Specialist Assessment: To experts who are delivering high-impact services in a niche, to RICS standards.
• Associate (AssocRICS): This qualification is designed for individuals who possess vocational experience.

Understanding the RICS Assessment Challenge

The RICS assessment of APC is not just a test of knowledge; it is an assessment of your ability to apply that knowledge to real-world scenarios and provide "reasoned advice." Candidates must demonstrate proficiency across three distinct levels:

1. Level 1 (Knowledge): Understanding the principles and theory.
2. Level 2 (Application): Putting that knowledge into practice on projects.
3. Level 3 (Advice): Providing strategic or financial advice to clients or employers.

Failure to clearly differentiate between these levels or to adhere to strict word counts often leads to a "referral" (failure), delaying career progression. This is where professional support becomes invaluable.
