Please note, this edition of Survey of the Profession has now been extended to 27 June.

The first edition of our biannual global Survey of the Profession for 2025 will be open between 22 May – 27 June and we’d like to hear from you.

Your voice is important, and helps support RICS in bringing value to the profession. We encourage all our members globally to be a part of shaping the future of RICS as we achieve our goal of becoming a world class experience-led and member-centric organisation, with public interest at the heart of our work.

RICS professionals and candidates can play a pivotal role in setting our priorities by taking part, sharing insights and leading the change we want to see in the profession and organisation.

“The views and opinions of our members are extremely important to the work we do and fundamental in shaping the future of RICS. I encourage members globally to participate in the survey and share their insights by 23 June”

Here’s what we have achieved together

Previous feedback gathered via the Survey of the Profession has produced many recent changes as part of RICS’ transformation journey, including us expanding our member engagement efforts globally. 

This includes: 

  • 64 member-led local face-to-face events taking place between January and May, in addition to 11 webinars and 11 partner round tables. 

  • Improvements to our infrastructure, contact centre and other processes to deliver better and faster service when you need it. 

  • Targeted communications to help you easily find events and content that are relevant to you. 

  • We are currently working to deliver a clearer more accessible and consistent assessment process for our candidates, and progressing the implementation of the updated CPD framework, focusing on the quality and impact of CPD activities.

Your voice matters and makes a difference. We encourage members globally to take part, so please share your views by 23 June. The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete and as a token of appreciation, RICS will enter survey participants into a draw and make a donation of £500 to a charity nominated by each of the two winning members.
