Testimonials - RICS APC

I had a great experience with Property Elite, Jen and Lauren were particularly helpful in arranging sessions within the final 6 months of my APC journey.

Lauren assisted with advice and structure with regards to my case study in particular which was of great help. In the final few months we went through revision techniques with regards the APC, Q&A sessions and presentation practice for the final interview.

All of which resulted in me passing the APC at the first attempt!

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the team at Property Elite. I approached them to help with my revision and preparation for my APC Final Assessment. They turned around an exhaustive Question Pack and organised a Mock Interview at such short notice.

I ended up passing my APC, using their resources as the focus for my revision so I could not recommend them enough!

My only regret is that I didn't approach them sooner to help with my APC revision and interview techniques!

Massive thank you to Jen and the team at Property Elite. Their revision material and mock interview services were extremely useful in preparing me for my final assessment.

Jen and the team at Property Elite helped not only towards the final straight of the interview but provide APC hot topics and valuable CPD.

They provided me with a hefty question pack which certainly helps you come to terms with your own submission and the style of questioning upon the final interview.

Property Elite reviewed my submission and provided a very helpful mock interview, which was an exact replica of the final assessment and provided me with reassurance whilst highlighting any areas to focus revision on.

I came to Property Elite for help following a recommendation from someone at Network Rail. This was because I was keen to become a Chartered Surveyor given I'd been doing Property Management for 6-years, however I'd not got the letters to my name to effectively recognise this and give it the affirmation i felt i deserved.

From the first point of contact onwards, Jen Lemen was quick to respond and listened to my situation brilliantly to ensure I was paired up with a mentor who was perfectly suited to my professional role (which was particularly niche it has to be said). My mentor, Michelle, was amazing and calm throughout and understood my industry too, which was invaluable. When I started out with Michelle, I was completely overwhelmed by the APC process and didn't understand where to even remotely start with any of it, as it seemed extremely complex; but Michelle was able to break it down to me in bitesize manageable chunks at a time, to help me get to where I needed to be to meet all the necessary deadlines. Don't get me wrong, the time and effort required AFTER submitting the papers is extremely demanding on the individual and requires a lot of self-discipline and commitments to be made to pass, but Property Elite certainly guided me in the right direction every step of the way to make sure iI studied the right literature, took the appropriate time out to finesse other things (like the 10 min presentation), and to also go and learn about parts where there were voids in my professional knowledge, simply because there were small parts of the RICS competencies which were not carried out regularly in my day job, which were absolute fundamentals in order to pass the interview (and of course valuable to know about post-qualification, to be the best surveyor possible).

I would definitely recommend Property Elite to anyone looking to get qualified through the APC as a chartered surveyor. In particular, I'd say Property Elite really stand out where there is a person like myself who was unfortunately without the privileges inside their own company of someone who understand the RICS APC process. Some companies have people internally who can help steer them through what is a very stressful and challenging assessment in-house but its useful to know that it's okay because companies like Property Elite exist to fulfil this role.

Property Elite are able to fill the void and gaps in understanding, knowledge, experience plus anything else linked to RICS. A special mention should also go out to Amin too, who was both testing, demanding... but supportive in the mock exam that I did pre-interview. This was a real eye opener and helped highlight to me some key areas I needed to polish up my knowledge on. The follow up learning I did from this proved pivotal, as I was able to offer detailed answers in my final interview which honed in on 2-3 areas where he had told me to research.

I had two Q&As, revision material and a mock interview and this enabled me to be well prepared for my final assessment. Lauren took the time to understand my position with two young children and provided excellent advice to boost my confidence and this led to me being successful in my assessment.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jen and the team at Property Elite for anyone embarking on their APC journey.

Meticulously curated materials and resources ensured access to up-to-date and relevant information.

Their dedication and support whether providing experience targeted questions to support effective study, clarifying doubts, offering constructive feedback on progress, or simply providing encouragement during the challenging time proved invaluable for me.

Special thanks to Jen and Elise.

As a Geomatics candidate, I spent several years struggling with how to complete my APC but In Property Elite I found a team with the right expertise, dedication, and motivation to guide me through the complex APC process with carefully crafted material that any candidate regardless of pathway would highly benefit.

From day one, the team at Property Elite was entirely invested in my professional growth, ensuring I was thoroughly prepared for every step of the RICS APC journey. Their systematic and custom-tailored approach not only helped me understand the requirements of the APC, but it also enhanced my competence and confidence in a wide spectrum of property-related practices and a clear grasp of the practice standards, statements, and guidance notes especially those that have been recently reviewed and changed.

Property Elite's staff demonstrated an impressive breadth of industry knowledge, invaluable for a subject matter as comprehensive as property surveying. However, what made the difference for me was their remarkable ability to communicate these complex topics in a clear and engaging manner. They ensured that I felt confident about my grasp of the material, providing insightful feedback and follow-up until I had a solid understanding.

The APC revision material, question pack, and mock interviews provided were a testament to Property Elite’s comprehensive and detail-oriented approach. It was as if they anticipated each hurdle I would face and provided a well-structured solution before it became a problem.

Additionally, the moral support and encouragement I received from the team throughout the process was a major driving force for me. Their sincere interest in my progress and the friendly yet professional approach they offered made my journey enjoyable and less stressful.

I am certain that without Property Elite's guidance, I would not have been able to successfully complete the RICS APC on my first attempt. They truly lived up to their reputation as the gold standard in the field.
Choosing Property Elite was one of the best decisions I made in my professional journey. For anyone looking to enhance their professional status in property surveying and needing an effective, personalized training solution, I wholeheartedly recommend Property Elite. With them, success is not a probability; it's a guarantee.

I contacted Property Elite following a previous endorsement from a friend. Being a sole practitioner in a rural area I found it very hard to get in touch with a mentor, I was contacted immediately by Jen who arranged a free consultation with one of the team.

They reviewed my submission documents, and to be fair did not hold back being critical where needed!
I found some of their free resources invaluable for my CPD.

After my interview I got a follow up enquiry from Jen so see how I felt I had done, which was appreciated.

I have been successful in my APC and have no doubt it was because of Property Elites' help & input.

I purchased the Property Elite Q&A pack. I was surprised and impressed by the service!

Firstly Jen acknowledged my purchase immediately, there was then an efficient turnaround to produce the question pack which was received within less than a week, with detailed questions received relevant to my pathway and submission.

The pack was helpful in focussing my revision, to prepare me for the final interview. Jen was also quick to respond when I had any queries or needed support regarding the questions.
