S4E3 The SurveYOUR Podcast – APC Assessor Feedback – Room for Improvement  Phew! That felt good.  James and Jon get the frustrations of poor final assessment attending APC Candidates off their collective Assessor chests.  Some 40+ assessments between them this session (1, 2022) and the experience was not all good. The boys are seasoned APC Assessor/Chairs with some 35+ years of assessing experience between them and probably in excess of 3,000 assessments delivered.  Plus, Jon has trained over 8,000 assessors to date.  They are also passionate and committed about how they deliver the APC assessment process and WANT candidates to pass. This podcast is a serious but well-mannered rant about the massive ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT that candidates and their counsellors need to hear and smarten up their delivery so the assessment can be less of a car crash and more of a sailing home with flying colours. If you have any thoughts, views, or differences of opinion, then get in touch and come along for a chat.  The podcast doors are always unlocked and wide open.

S2E24 The SurveYOUR podcast Special Feature – The Levitt Review - Part 7 (finale) ‘RICS Levitt Review – Part 7 – David Sandbrook FRICS We hope you have enjoyed all of the previous 6 parts of our Levitt Review Podcast.  James and Jon were delighted to host the Levitt Review podcast finale, part 7, with David Sandbrook FRICS, Governing Council member and Chair of RICS Levitt Review Recommendation Steering Group (SteerCo2, The Sequel). David joined the podcast as our first Minerals Surveyor!  The boys had a great chat with David about his role and oversight of the Levitt Review recommendations.  His experience in the industry and Governing council makes him absolutely the right person for the job. In addition to David’s new role, the discussion was littered with interesting experiences, canaries, ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level Surveying, Derby Mountain Rescue and the fantastic news that David’s son (Gareth) has recently achieved his Charter MRICS. As James and Jon bring this Levitt Review series to a close, David’s insights were invaluable to help us understand the work going on behind the scenes to rebuild our institution.  Rest assured this is not the last time you have heard from David… Our thanks to David for spending time with us reflecting and looking to the future.  The commitment and hard work David and his GC colleagues are putting in over the next few months can only have a positive outcome for our Institution.  Thank you. The Levitt Review has been a pivotal moment in our institutions 150+ year history and essential membership reading to reflect on what has gone before and the amazing opportunity of what lies ahead. James and Jon have embarked on a mission to provide an audio / podcast version just for you!  There will be quite a few episodes with James and Jon, and some amazing guests, as they work their way through the detail. James and Jon were part of the GC19 group who supported the 4 NED’s that were dismissed and also pursued mistruths and incorrect press releases about the information and awareness provided to the GC19 members.  Needless to say, now vindicated and apologised to by RICS, the experience is still very raw and conjures up a myriad of emotions as the boys reflect on the experience. It is worthy of note that James and Jon will reflect on the past but are most keen to stare into the future and see what an amazing institution we can build upon the lessons learnt from the Levitt Review.
