Course/Workshop 3 Jun 2025

The RICS External Wall Systems (EWS) Assessment Training Programme is now open for enrolment.

This programme is a Level 6 Award qualification, designed to equip surveying professionals with the skills and knowledge to conduct External Wall System (EWS) assessments. This includes the ability to carry out Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls (FRAEWs) for buildings under 18 metres and to complete EWS1 forms under Option A and Option B for buildings classified as low or medium risk. 

Please be aware that the RICS EWS Assessment Training Programme is highly specialised and demands a solid foundation of technical knowledge and practical skills related to external wall systems. The programme is designed to challenge even experienced professionals, and success will require significant commitment to learning and assessment readiness. 

The EWS assessment training programme is designed for candidates in the UK who already have a base knowledge to undertake external wall system assessments for low to medium risk residential buildings; increasing the number of professionals to support the current market demand.
