RICS External Wall Systems (EWS) Assessment Training Programme open for Chartered Architectural Technologists
Opportunity for Chartered Architectural Technologists with relevant experience to undertake the RICS External Wall Systems (EWS) Assessment Training Programme
Chartered Members have the opportunity to undertake the EWS assessment training programme offered by RICS. This is funded by the MHCLG and is designed for designated, competent professionals 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.
You should only complete the form to apply for the EWS assessment training programme if you intend to undertake EWS assessments and RICS may request sample reports to be submitted upon completion of the training. Once the form is completed, an eligibility check will be undertaken to ensure that your experience is appropriate. To undertake and provide EWS assessments you must also have the necessary professional indemnity insurance in place which provides the required cover for EWS assessments.
The training course is funded, but participants have to cover the Ofqual registration and assessment fees (£120+VAT). There are two assessments and one re-sit is allowed in each assessment. Each re-sit costs an additional £70 + VAT.
