Lifelong learning (LLL) for members
(Or: CPD - Continuing Professional Development)
Members shall undertake and record appropriate lifelong learning

It requires members’ lifelong learning to be effective, enabling them
to do their work competently. The outcome of the learning is more
important than the number of hours spent on it

commentary for all RICS members undertaking valuations

Plus: a related suite of Valuation Information Papers which discuss
valuation methodology as it relates to specific property types
For further information, see www.rics.org/redbook
