Thank you for uploading this short CPD! David can this short video be logged in as a 15 minutes formal CPD by the APC candidates?

Hi Wajid. Yes it can, but probably best to watch some of the others to get up to a full hour, or do some background reading to make it up to an hour. Anything can be formal CPD as long as it has a learning objective that you plan and meet. Kind regards, Dave

I’m worried about the amount I have to learn and how I can learn it. My mind wasn’t made to retain lists of information when I sat A-levels over 20 years ago, nevermind now! Not sure if you have any advice on this. It feels like screeds of information on each competency, where I need to be able to recall a full list of items in answer to a question in an APC setting at a second’s notice. Stuff I deal with every day is fine, the core competencies for example. It’s the mandatory ones that scare me, and seems like you could get asked about any obscure item from these and if I don’t have an answer, is that it? Boom, referral. For example, in the context of business planning, I work for a small partnership, there are 2 partners and 2 employees. I know I could go off and set up an RICS registered firm if I pass, employ 100 people and need to know how it works, and need to know how to plan my business responsibly, but how can I bridge this gap in knowledge between what I have experienced and what I could potentially do after I become MRICS? Is it literally just a case of learning lists of information and hope I don’t forget?
