APC Preparation courses

As well as Art and Design based short courses, the Short Course Unit, along with Kingston University’s School of Surveying and Planning, offers a wide range of technical and professional courses to help candidates prepare for their APC final assessment. The technical courses are a comprehensive range of 2-hour evening classes /workshops held at a London venue covering the key subjects. Intensive two-day revision courses are held in Kingston, Manchester and Glasgow/Edinburgh and cover technical issues and practical training in presenting your experience, together with the opportunity to discuss problems with APC assessors in small working groups. There is a separate 2-day course covering the Building Surveying and Construction Faculty route and one for the Quantity Surveying route. These 2 day courses are supported by a 1-day Topical Issues course that focuses on cutting-edge and current technical and professional issues frequently covered by the APC final Assessment.
