Our APC conference took place at Firle Place Smiths Gore recently hosted it's biannual APC conference. The two day event was attended by 29 graduates and took place at Newhaven and the Firle Estate (by kind permission of Lord Gage).

There was a full and varied programme of events including lectures and seminars focussing on subjects such as legal updates, energy management on rural estates, management strategy and professional ethics. Delegates also had the opportunity to undergo mock critical analysis interviews and mock APC interviews on an individual basis.

The objective of the event is to provide every Smiths Gore graduate with the necessary intellectual property to successfully achieve Chartered Surveyor status.

Robin Clarke, Partner and Head of Training comments:"This highly regarded event is both informal and informative. It provides a fantastic opportunity for critical self-analysis in terms of career development. The conference is second to none in terms of vocational training and this is reflected in our high APC pass rates."
