RICS Assessment Checklist For A Senior Professional And Specialist

 The RICS assessment checklist for a senior professional and specialist we have given in this article summarizes the main points in the submission requirements for the SPA/SPE. The checklist is so well prepared that it ensures that you provide the information your assessors need to evaluate your skills, knowledge, and competency.

You must know that RICS has the right to cancel or refuse interviews if at any time it comes to know that the submission/assessment criteria have not been fulfilled. It includes case study validity, word count, ethics module and test, fees, plagiarism, CPD, qualification and experience, eligibility, and any other criteria given in the RICS Regulations.

It would mean your assessment would be delayed to the next available assessment session. If delayed, you need to re-apply and submit your updated submission.

You need to have completed the RICS Ethics Module in the last 12 months when applying. You don’t need to give evidence of completing the RICS Ethics Module. It will be checked when applying for assessment. If this need has not been fulfilled, your RICS assessment will be delayed.

Remember your submission must consist of the submission overview, employment summary, professional statement and cas,e studies having appendices. It needs to be converted into a PDF before you upload it when you apply for the RICS assessment.

When uploading your submission, upload it as a single PDF file or if having extra appendices to attach as a zip file including the PDF submission.

Your submission will be uploaded in Box, which is a cloud-based secure file-sharing system.

 

Here, in this article, we told you about the submissions. However, we strictly advise you to hire an RICS assessment expert to get everything done the right way. It is because the RICS assessment of professional competence of a candidate is very strict, and it doesn’t forgive even minor mistakes.
