Our Story

From dream to designation — no matter where you start

We know the journey to becoming a Chartered Surveyor is not always a straight line. Many of us walked that very path — arriving from different countries, different backgrounds, and different starting points, united by the same ambition: to build a career in real estate at the highest professional level.

Summit APC Academy was born from that lived experience. Our founders grew up in Zimbabwe and across Southern Africa, studying and working their way through the profession with limited access to the networks, mentors, and guidance that others took for granted. We learned the hard way — navigating unfamiliar systems, overcoming barriers, and proving ourselves in a competitive global industry.

That journey taught us something powerful: talent has no borders, and ambition deserves support. Today, every programme we run is shaped by that belief. Whether you are in Harare, Nairobi, Dubai, or London, we are here to make sure your background is never the reason you don't achieve your goals.

🌍

Mentorship Without Borders

We pair every candidate with a dedicated MRICS-qualified mentor who has walked the same path. Real guidance from people who understand your journey — not just your textbook.
