Benefits of RICS membership

print

Join RICS and become the preferred choice of clients and employers:

  • globally recognised designation (MRICS and FRICS)
  • elite professional standing
  • significantly increased career opportunities and earning potential
  • networking opportunities through an international professional community
  • strict code of ethics
  • credibility and influence with decision makers at national and international level
  • life-long learning opportunities
  • guidance, information and support from the National Group in your country

"The number of foreign investors and multinational players is rapidly increasing in Italy. Both are demanding uniform international standards of professionalism embodied by RICS members. Membership of RICS is therefore important for those who aspire to work internationally. It has enabled me to develop both professionally and personally by working in the UK, Hungary and currentlyItaly."
Lelio Manna FRICS, Director CB Richard Ellis SpA and Head of Corporate Real Estate and Agency services, Italy

RICS member information services:

  • full access to member-only content on www.rics.org
  • RICS Library and information services: support and advice, technical information, reports, e-books, leading research papers and books - all online on www.rics.org/library
  • reduced prices on selected RICS publications from RICS Books on www.ricsbooks.org
  • regular newsletters, e-briefs and the monthly RICS Business magazine

In summary, property professionals choose to become chartered surveyors for two main reasons:

  • the high level of standards offered by RICS in terms of the quality of the qualification, professional development, independent analysis, guidance, advice and the fact that members are regulated throughout their careers to meet the standards
  • the status conferred by the membership - the RICS designation opens doors, the main international players value the qualification, and membership of RICS offers ongoing opportunities for practitioners to network with top-level peers worldwide
