We provide key advice and support from informed Professionals involved in the APC process and have a very high success rate in helping candidate achieve their goals of Chartership.Every year around 30% of those taking APC (Assessment of Professional Competence) fail to pass or are referred to spend another six months training, studying and repeating the final assessment. This is difficult for candidates: achieving Chartered status is one of the most important steps in their career and reflects the global standing of this well-respected quality standard. It also means continued work for employers to support re-entry.Ensuring candidates receive the right experiences assists with what counts towards the APC, undertaking work reviews and dedicated support to prepare for final assessments will all help avoid this – but overworked managers often find it hard to dedicate time to candidates or simply don’t know what is required.APC Academy provides a tailored solution for both surveyors and employers by complementing any company-based RICS APC training programme, or even devising a new training programme from first principles, to ensure the best possible preparation for success at APC.Let APC Academy help you aim for first time APC success.
