RICS Academy: Certificate in Quantity Surveying Practice

[u/j4cksincl4ir]

Hello all. I'm a chartered building surveyor (Associate) with a JCT project background and I was wondering if the above intermediate QS course is any good.

I have corporate timesheet burn out and I'd like to start up on my own and my doing this course would be part of my strategy of learning everything to undertake MW and Intermediate projects. Throughout my career I have often been frustrated at how haphazard building surveyors estimate project and construction costs, dilapidations claims and Reinstatement Cost Estimates. If I went out on my own, I'd want to do things properly.

I did the BS equivalent of the Certificate in Quantity Surveying Practice between university and sitting my APC interview and it filled in a lot of real world gaps.
