 Introducing "Ready for Practice": Your Guide to Navigating the Path to Chartered Surveyor Status

Embarking on the journey to become a chartered surveyor is both a demanding and rewarding endeavour. With my latest book, "Ready for Practice," I aim to offer a comprehensive guide that not only prepares you for the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) but also nurtures your growth throughout your career. This book is not merely a collection of tips—it is a mentorship in print, designed to guide you through the complexities of the surveying profession.

       The core of "Ready for Practice" is the READY framework, a distilled essence of my experience and that of many successful professionals in the field. This framework is tailored to help you understand your motivations (Reason), gain and apply practical experience (Experience), authentically demonstrate your skills (Authenticity), diligently prepare (Develop and Practice), and confidently deliver your competencies (Yield).

    This blog post invites you to delve into the principles that have shaped countless successful careers and can shape yours too. Whether you are just starting out or are looking to refine your skills further, "Ready for Practice" offers valuable insights that are applicable at any stage of your professional journey.

    I encourage you to engage with this book not just as a reader, but as an active participant in your own story of professional development. Let it be a resource that you return to time and again, each time finding new layers of depth to explore and apply in your practice.

    How do you envision applying the READY framework in your current or future surveying projects?
