Entry and assessment standards and processes for all grades of RICS membership are critical to ensuring confidence in the profession. They provide the gateway to membership, ensuring individuals have the right knowledge, skills, experience and behaviours at the point of entry.
The Standards and Regulation Board (SRB) established the Entry and Assessment Review, led by the Entry and Assessment Steering Group (EASG). The Review is a programme of work to research, design, and implement any new assessment processes identified for the profession.
Following the publication of the Entry & Assessment Review Final Report in 2024, the SRB has approved recommendations for a new entry and assessment model for RICS, ensuring that RICS assessments keep pace with changes in current practice and legislation and modern qualification and educational practices. The SRB has now established a Programme Design, Implementation and Oversight Group, responsible for designing and delivering the new assessment framework, led by Group Chair Sarah Hutchinson.

“Our responsibility to future surveyors, and the society that will benefit from their work, means that we must ensure the standard of entry to RICS membership assesses the right skills, knowledge and behaviours, in the right way.”
