With its comprehensive consideration of the essential content of each competency it will provide candidates with structured revision material and a critical reminder of the many varied ways the mandatory competencies are woven into everyday surveying practice.”

This enables candidates to fully understand what they need to consider for inclusion within their submissions and at assessment. This professionally written book also acts as a quick guide for Chartered Surveyors to refresh their knowledge."
