Your role

As a counsellor you play an important role in ensuring that those following the assessments have the experience and potential to fulfil our ethical standards and professional competency requirements before progressing to final assessment.

Working as a counsellor can be personally rewarding and satisfying, and you will:

• help to maintain the high professional standards expected of qualified professionals
• put something back into the surveying profession
• help raise the profile of RICS and its professionals around the world
• satisfy the ‘Service to RICS’ characteristic recognised for RICS Fellowship (FRICS).
