RICS Membership
There are various membership pathways shown on the website, but these all culminate in the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC), which includes a written submission outlining experience and case studies.
To apply for the APC, a personal statement is needed outlining experience and also a Counsellor, who is an experienced RICS Member, to provide guidance and assistance with the application.
