# Summit APC Academy

> Summit APC Academy is a mentorship-without-borders service for RICS APC candidates across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and North Africa. MRICS-qualified counsellors provide vetting, structured supervised-experience review, case-study coaching, and mock-interview panels for candidates working towards Chartered membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Summit is an independent training provider and is not a RICS-regulated firm. All counsellors are individually qualified MRICS members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The Academy serves candidates in Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other markets where access to in-person RICS counsellors is limited.

## Operating constraints worth knowing
- Summit APC Academy is an independent training provider. It does not award RICS membership. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors is the awarding body.
- All counsellors are individually qualified MRICS members. Counsellor matching is curated, not self-serve.
- Summit serves Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and North Africa. United Kingdom and European candidates are not the primary target.
- Fees are quoted in United States dollars by proforma invoice before any engagement begins.
