Candidates who are referred have the right to appeal.
You cannot appeal simply because you disagree with the assessors’ decision about your competence. The appeal panel does not question the merits of the assessors’ decision. It looks at the way the final assessment was conducted, and will allow the appeal only if, on the balance of probabilities, there was fault in the process.
It does not reach any conclusion about the candidate’s competence to practise: it considers only administrative or procedural matters.
Appeal panel
Appeals are considered by an RICS appeal panel of three chartered surveyors who have no connection with you or your employer, and no previous knowledge of your final assessment interview.
The appeal panel has no powers to admit a candidate to RICS membership: if an appeal is approved, the original final assessment interview is disregarded and you will be given a fresh interview.
Published date: 03 April 2024
How to appeal
You have 21 days in which to appeal. This is taken from the date on which your referral report is issued.
- Complete the APC candidate appeal form (download it from this page) and submit the required appeal fee (no third party may appeal on your behalf).
- Detail, in no more than 1,000 words, the reasons for the appeal. No further supporting documentation is permitted and no representations may be submitted by another party who was not present at the interview (e.g. supervisor, counsellor, employer)
- Send to RICS within 21 days of the date your referral report was issued.
The process takes approximately seven weeks following receipt of your appeal.
