LionHeart Talks… Gearing up for your APC

Undertaking your APC and, in particular, getting ready for final assessment can be one of the most stressful, daunting periods of a surveyor’s career, with the need to juggle work, study, revision and home life. So how can you help yourself gear up for that all-important journey?

In this episode, our host Melissa Gough-Rundle is joined by ambassador Roy Albert, who became chartered in 2020 despite some hurdles, and is now an APC assessor and mentor as well as an ambassador for LionHeart.

We talk about:

  • Roy’s own journey from tiny Caribbean island to UK surveying career, and from apprentice to MRICS
  • Approaching APC and recognising your learning style
  • The things that are more important than your technical knowledge
  • The importance of balance and good support
  • Mocks, mocks, mocks – and why it’s better to be uncomfortable in a mock than the real thing!
  • How LionHeart and the APC ambassadors can help candidates
