The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
About this episode

Fellowship represents not an end-state of the surveying profession, but a next phase of your journey - how do you know when it’s time to attain it?

In this episode of the RICS Podcast, Tammy Harrison-Round FRICS guides a discussion with Chris Smith, who recently earned his FRICS designation, and Jamie Collins MRICS who’s currently preparing to undertake it.

You'll learn their personal experiences, motivations, and the challenges they faced along the way, plus strategies for success on your own path to FRICS.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

  • Personal journeys and motivations for pursuing the FRICS designation
  • Insights into the FRICS application process, including challenges, strategies, and practical advice for success
  • The importance of mentorship, networking, and giving back to the surveying profession
  • Overcoming self-doubt and breaking stereotypes about who can achieve fellowship and when in their career
  • The broader impact of FRICS on professional recognition, confidence, and the ability to influence and inspire others in the industry
