✦ About the package

Who it's for and what's inside

The Submission package is for a candidate who will write it themselves and wants someone to review it with them. You have every source you need — over 100 hours of recorded content, the question bank, and Notion templates with the references and study materials. You won't need any other source. All you have to do is write. When you're done, you send me the files — I go through them and return the edits to you, for the SOE and the Case Study, once before submission. I then approve both as your Counsellor, and you get a Mock Interview once before the interview.

Contract Practice LEVEL 2

On a commercial fit-out project I administered the works under a standard form of contract1, issuing instructions and keeping the contract records up to date.

I assessed the contractor's extension of time2 submission against the agreed programme, and set out my assessment in writing together with its effect on liquidated damages3.

I then prepared the interim valuation and the payment notice

SOE review
before you submit

All you have to do is write. When your SOE is done, you send me the file — I go through it competency by competency and return the edits written on what you wrote: one full review of the whole SOE, once before submission.

  • 📄
    The SOE you wrote yourself The review is on your own text — exactly what you wrote, not a ready-made template

before enrolling

The course is designed for professionals pursuing MRICS membership through the Quantity Surveying & Construction APC pathway. It covers the core roles in this field: Cost Control · Commercial · Quantity Surveying · Procurement · Tendering · Contracts · Project Controls.

The Submission package specifically suits you if you'll write it yourself and want someone to review what you write: every source, recording and material is in your hands, so you won't need anything else — all you have to do is write. When you're done, you send me your files, and I review them and return them to you with the edits, for the SOE and the Case Study, once before submission.
Access is lifetime — you can come back anytime to revise, or use it as a reference whenever you need. The course is also structured to serve your working life, not just exam preparation — the lessons are organised so you can apply them directly in your day-to-day work.
Two options, both available directly at checkout: $1,299 as a one-time payment, or 3 monthly payments × $499. The instalment total is $1,497 — slightly more than the one-time price, not a discount on it. Either way, access is lifetime, including all future updates.
The APC is not a traditional exam with right and wrong answers — it's a multi-factor assessment involving several elements: the assessor responsible for reviewing your submission, your performance in the Interview, how you present your Case Study, and other professional criteria. What I can commit to: I will be with you from the day you enroll until you achieve MRICS membership — with every tool, all the guidance and follow-up that put a first-attempt pass within reach, God willing. And if for any reason you don't pass on the first attempt, I will stay with you until you earn the membership.
The explanations and concepts are in Arabic — because you absorb them faster and deeper in your native language. The technical terminology (Competencies · Variations · FIDIC Clauses · Case Study · Submission Document...) stays in English exactly as it appears in the assessment. The result: you understand each concept in depth, and you know the English term the examiner will ask you about — combining deep understanding with command of the required terminology.
Yes — you receive a Certificate of Completion from the LeAlmond academy after finishing the full course.
I am MRICS and a RICS APC Counsellor — meaning I approve your SOE and Case Study in my capacity as Counsellor within your submission. The approval comes after the review, not instead of it.
