THE APC
What it involves & what candidates need to do
- Less than 5 years
With fewer than 5 years of relevant work experience, you will need to enrol upon the APC and undertake 24 months of “structured training”.
How can we help?
APC Success can help you to navigate the APC process smartly, understand how to gain and demonstrate suitable experience, use the RICS Assessment Resources Centre (ARC), draft a high quality submission and prepare for the final assessment interview.

Do you have a degree?
From 5-10 years
- Post-graduate degree
Candidates with at least 5 years of experience and a postgraduate degree may be eligible for MRICS qualification by pursuing one of the following routes:
More than 10 years or 5 years and a PG degree
- Senior Professional
If you can demonstrate advanced responsibilities as a leader and in managing people and resources, this may be the best qualification route for you.
How can we help?
APC Success can support you in understanding whether your profile suggests that this route is right for you and how to go about applying for qualification.
This will involve helping you to demonstrate your eligibility to apply for qualification and then how best to demonstrate your competence.

- Specialist
You may be able to qualify if you can demonstrate advanced responsibility in delivering specialist areas of work.

APC Success can support you in setting out how your work profile can confirm your eligibility, and subsequently how to demonstrate appropriate behaviours and experiences to ensure qualification.

- Non-real-estate-related degree
With more than 5 years experience and a non-real-estate-related degree (with at least 12 months of experience after your degree), you may be able to undertake the APC having first made a submission for “preliminary review”.
How can we help?
APC Success can help you to identify suitable experience to include in your preliminary review submission and how to draft it.
When you have received feedback from your Preliminary Review assessors, we can assist with final submission review and final assessment interview preparation.
