There are two main types of RICS qualification – Associate (AssocRICS) and Chartered (MRICS):
- Associate is the entry-level RICS qualification and offers the chance to progress to full chartered status
- Chartered is the most common way to qualify as most people already have surveying-related qualifications and work experience.
To qualify as an Associate or Chartered member, you will have to pass a series of assessments.
We offer different flexible ways through the assessment process, and will support you throughout your journey to qualifying as a member.
All Students & Candidates registered with RICS are Regulated Members and are bound by RICS’ Charter, Bye-Laws, Regulations, Rules of Conduct, Standards and Guidance.
