Fifteen DTZ graduates from across the UK have passed their APC (Assessment of Professional Competence) exams after completing the company’s training scheme. The successful completion of the exams means they are now qualified chartered surveyors and members of the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors).
Three graduates from DTZ’s Cheltenham office passed this year’s exams: Jordan D’Gama, Jordan Fendick and George Wilson.
The APC is the practical training which, when combined with academic qualification, leads to membership of the RICS. The trainees at DTZ are placed on the two-year graduate scheme when they join the company which gives them specialised training and regular appraisals with agreed action points in preparation for the APC exams.
Richard Williamson, Head of DTZ’s Cheltenham office, commented: “Each candidate has worked extremely hard to achieve this accreditation. This success highlights the importance we place on professional development at DTZ. RICS status is the mark of property professionalism and this qualification is an important step in the career progression of each of the candidates.”
