Hillbreak and APC Success are committed to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our respective staff, consultants, clients and training delegates, as well as the wider public, whilst continuing to deliver the high quality advisory and training services that everyone expects of us.

During this time of unprecedented global public health crisis, we are, of course, following evolving government guidelines carefully. We have been taking a cautious and proactive approach during the loosening of governmental and corporate restrictions, taking account of credible sources of information and advice. We would like to thank our clients for their understanding and cooperation in this regard. As the saying goes, we really are all in this together, and you can count on us to support your business and people in whatever ways we can too.

To date, we have adopted the following approach accordingly.

In particular, we have completed the full migration of our client training events to an online, live-streamed format, and we have been grateful for the support of a number of our training delegates who have experienced this new mode of delivery on a test-case basis. We really appreciate it. With their positive feedback, we have been able to complete the transition to online training delivery with confidence.

With this process now completed, our working and training delivery practices are operating in the following ways:

  • Keeping you informed: We are continuing to keep our clients and all delegates booked onto our training events informed of our approach and we are doing what we reasonably can to remain flexible to meet their needs, whilst ceasing all face-to-face events for the time being.
  • Training delivery (Corporate Clients & Individual Delegate Groups): Having deployed digital technologies to enable us to run all of our training sessions in a live-streamed and interactive format, the in-person delivery of training events (for all group sizes) has been suspended until further notice. We are able to accommodate all client participants using various platforms and are more than happy to make use of clients’ own technical solutions if they would prefer to do that.
  • Meetings: We are no longer travelling to client meetings and are requesting that all meetings be held online until further notice. All internal meetings are being held virtually. As a firm with no fixed premises, it is normal practice for our people to work from home, and our technology is very much tried-and-tested in this regard.
  • Staying healthy: We continue to advocate the need for good standards of personal hygiene amongst our staff and consultants, with reference to World Health Organisation guidance whilst encouraging all of our people to take the sensible steps with which they are personally comfortable to protect themselves and others from the virus. We also think the infographic below, prepared by the healthy work company, is a great model to follow for everyone working at home!

THWC Healthy Working At Home Fin Scaled

We are continuing to keep this position under regular review and will update this post accordingly.

Should any of our clients or delegates have any questions about this statement and its impact upon existing or planned training events, meetings or other engagements, then please do not hesitate to contact us. Even if you just want a chat, give us a call!

Spring 2020 APC Success Course dates released

/in , /by

Following the success of our sell-out Autumn 2019 course we are pleased to announce that booking for the Spring 2020 APC Success course is now open.

Our increasingly popular three-day intensive course is suitable for APC candidates working in real estate organisations and surveying firms on the Commercial, Residential, Property Finance & Investment and Planning & Development pathways who are looking to sit their APC in Spring 2020.

At this time, two groups are available to join; they will run on different dates, but will cover the same content over three full days of highly-interactive sessions taking place in Marylebone, London. The syllabus will be delivered in two stages: APC Preparation & Revision Planning in November 2019, followed by two further APC Revision days in February and March 2020.

Each group will consist of up to 15 delegates whom we encourage to work together to benefit from collaborative working and mutual support. Additional, ongoing, out-of-session support will also be provided via private social media groups and email. Places are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Our past courses have sold out, so candidates are urged to register sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Training will be delivered by Miles Keeping MRICS, an APC Assessor as well as an experienced APC trainer, and new addition to the APC Success team Jon Wright MRICS. Jon  joins us with over 25 years’ experience and has been involved with the RICS APC process since 1995. He has delivered APC training since 2007 and regularly fulfils the role of APC Chair, Auditor and Appeal Panel member.

To book your place on this course, please select your preferred group of training dates from the options below; it is important that you stay within the same Group throughout the course in order to benefit from cohort and ongoing social media support.

Group A: 19 November, 10 February, 16 March
Group B: 20 November, 11 February, 17 March

If you would like to register your interest for future courses (Autumn 2020 sittings and onwards), please email Timia@apcsuccess.co.uk including your name, contact details and when you’re hoping to sit your APC.
