APC Intelligence<br />

Dealing with Referral on your APC Final Assessment?<br />

Firstly, let’s get the stigma out of the way. Referral simply means you have not<br />

demonstrated to the panel that you are ready for Chartered status. It does not<br />

mean you are useless!<br />

It does mean that you will need to consider how you plan the next 6-month<br />

lead-in to your Final Assessment,<br />

plus there is always an element of personal disappointment and negativity<br />

that I always try and enthuse referred candidates to turn into positive thinking<br />

and energy and refocus on the new final assessment goal ahead.<br />

FRICS<br />

Please make sure you carefully consider your referral report which has been<br />

produced by the chairman of your referring assessment panel. Currently, this<br />

report will be in your next submission pack so the next assessment panel will<br />

be expecting you to have taken on board all of the points it refers to where<br />

you were deemed deficient.<br />

Take heart that the pass rate for referred candidates is normally substantially<br />

higher than the first time pass rate.<br />

Lastly, please remember not to get caught out by the time scales as whilst<br />

the assessment dates are six months apart the actual time between receiving<br />

your referral report and having to reapply and resubmit your documentation<br />

is substantially less.<br />
