Understanding APC Support Roles
RICS requires specific support roles during your APC journey. Here is how they differ:
| Counsellor | Supervisor | Mentor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Required by RICS? | Yes - mandatory | Yes - for structured training | No - optional |
| Qualification | Must be MRICS | Senior colleague (RICS membership recommended) | Usually MRICS |
| Primary role | Strategic oversight of your APC journey | Day-to-day work experience and project exposure | Ad hoc guidance and advice |
| Key responsibility | Signs off your final submission to RICS | Ensures you gain the right competency experience | Provides tips on specific aspects of APC prep |
| Can be external? | Yes - RICS permits external counsellors | No - must be within your organisation | Yes - typically external |
| Reviews | 6-monthly competency reviews | 3-monthly progress meetings | As needed |
| Time commitment | Ongoing throughout APC (2-5 years) | Daily/weekly (part of your work) | Limited - a few hours total |
Many candidates in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa struggle to find a local counsellor. Summit APC Academy provides qualified external counsellors matched to your pathway - so you can focus on building your competencies.
