The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has partnered with Access Learning to introduce a new range of digital tools to support candidates aiming to get qualified.

Access Learning, which provides bite-sized expert-led educational video content, will support RICS candidates preparing for qualification and professionals seeking to develop wider business, leadership and professional skills.

There will be new content for candidates on the the RICS Qualification Package training scheme.

Meanwhile, RICS members will get access to tools on continuing professional development areas – including leadership, management, cyber awareness, customer experience, communication, teamwork, wellbeing, mental health and diversity, equity and inclusion.

The learning is aligned to the updated RICS CPD framework, effective from January 2026, and supports development across mandatory, core and broader professional competencies.
