RICS reserves the right to decline direct entry. In such cases, applicants will be required to undertake the most appropriate RICS assessment.
When applying to RICS through a direct entry, applications are asked to confirm how they gained the approved qualification. If this was by way of a third-party direct entry arrangement which is not RICS-approved, the applicant will be referred to the most appropriate RICS assessment.
