RICS welcomes today’s publication of the Curriculum and Assessment Review. Education is at the heart of a future pipeline of skilled surveyors in the years and decades to come.
The Review highlights the importance of incorporating digital and financial education into the curriculum – including knowledge of how mortgages work and artificial intelligence. Young people will play a critical role in responding to pressing global problems from climate change to the housing crisis and building safety. It is therefore essential that the curriculum is fit for purpose, equipping young people with the skills they will need.
RICS’ Surveying skills report 2025 reflects an industry that is rapidly evolving amid ongoing skills shortages and pressures on capacity. Business skills, sustainability, data analytics, and big data management were identified among the most important priorities.
It is right to incorporate vocational elements, but further expansion of Technical Qualifications that provide a tangible route into the world of work is needed. RICS supports the V-Level pathway and looks forward to helping to shape the curriculum for a V-Level in the built environment that builds on the success of the T-Level in Design, Surveying and Planning. Surveying skills report 2025: an exploration of skills shortages in the surveying profession. The RICS Surveying skills report is the first of its kind, providing an in-depth exploration of skills shortages in surveying.
