Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with my Associate Assessment?

Those holding a non-SCSI surveying related qualification are required to complete an Associate Assessment to qualify for Associate Membership.

The Associate Assessment is comprised of a set list of skills – or competencies – set out according to a candidate’s area of specialism. These are a mixture of interpersonal, business and technical skills. In order to become an Associate, you must demonstrate the competencies for your specialism. This is done through the submission of documentation (desktop assessment) and the completion of an online Ethics module and test. You must successfully complete both stages in order to be elected as an Associate member.

Getting Started

Once you have selected your pathway of specialism, you are advised to read the Candidate’s Guide which will set out the following:

Stages of Application and Assessment
