RICS has introduced a simpler, more market-relevant process for its technical qualification in the UK.
Access to the qualification has been broadened but the quality of the RICS mark remains.
A layered approach to final assessment enables different types of skills displayed by technical staff to be captured.
The assessment is in two parts:
- Completion of an online exercise proves awareness of RICS' ethical requirements
- Demonstration of sector-specific competencies is achieved through a number of written submissions.
Overall, the two outcomes of an RICS final assessment are a pass or referral.
In the minority of cases, where submissions provide insufficient evidence of a candidate's ability, an interview may be necessary.
