Skills are a critical part of the APC assessment, and continue to serve you throughout your career in surveying, but which skills are best to prioritise to succeed in today’s industry?

This episode of The RICS Podcast features the fantastic insights of Kate Taylor FRICS, Annabel Huffer MRICS and Abdul Alimi MRICS, drawing on experiences from both sides of the assessment process.

  • The multiple entry paths into surveying, including apprenticeships, graduate schemes, and non-traditional backgrounds
  • Importance of soft skills in the APC process and throughout the surveying career
  • Changes in surveying over recent years, such as the increased focus on sustainability, ESG, diversity, and technological innovation
