Charles Jones has opted for a unique career path and expects to become dual qualified with both the RICS and RTPI in May 2020. He admits that “it has been a challenge and I have had to invest in myself”, but sees no reason “why you have to choose. Why can’t you do both at the same time. Surely that would add more value to you as a professional and as an individual.”
In this episode of Bricks & Mortar he talks to Sarah Jackman about what made him pursue both qualifications, the knowledge he’s acquired along the way, how that applies in a professional context and the practical steps he’s taken to support him on that journey. He offers advice to those thinking about their pathway choices and gives his thoughts on how best to develop a career in the industry.
