*We aim to ensure that all eligible candidates are assessed within the above timeframes. However, our ability to deliver assessments in a timely manner is driven exclusively by assessor availability. There may be, from time to time, situations where you will not be interviewed during these specific windows and we ask for your flexibility in being interviewed later.

*我们的目标是确保在上述时限内为所有符合条件的候选人安排评核。但是，我们能否及时安排评核完全取决于评核组时间。有时，您可能无法在上述特定时间段内进行面试，我们希望您能接受灵活安排，稍后再进行面试。

Candidates who are referred have the right to appeal.

You cannot appeal simply because you disagree with the assessors’ decision about your competence. The appeal panel does not question the merits of the assessors’ decision. It looks at the way the final assessment was conducted, and will allow the appeal only if, on the balance of probabilities, there was fault in the process.

It does not reach any conclusion about the candidate’s competence to practise: it considers only administrative or procedural matters.

Appeal panel

Appeals are considered by an RICS appeal panel of three chartered surveyors who have no connection with you or your employer, and no previous knowledge of your final assessment interview.

The appeal panel has no powers to admit a candidate to RICS membership: if an appeal is approved, the original final assessment interview is disregarded and you will be given a fresh interview.

How to appeal                                                 

You have 21 days in which to appeal. This is taken from the date on which your referral report is issued.

• Complete the APC candidate appeal form (download it from this page) and submit the required appeal fee (no third party may appeal on your behalf).
• Detail, in no more than 1,000 words, the reasons for the appeal. No further supporting documentation is permitted and no representations may be submitted by another party who was not present at the interview (e.g. supervisor, counsellor, employer)
• Send to RICS within 21 days of the date your referral report was issued.

The process takes approximately seven weeks following receipt of your appeal.
