QS - RICS or CIOB

[Hugo85]

Looking for some advice really and anyone with relevant experience.
I work as a QS for a top 10 main contractor.

I am being pushed by my commercial manager to go for chartered status (he is both MRICS and MCIOB). However, I am not entirely sure which route to pursue.
From having a read of both I think I suit CIOB more (also a number of QS colleagues are CIOB) but welcome to any advice. RICS seems a much bigger commitment and being honest I am not sure I can commit fully to it.

I have no desire to ever be a PQS.

Any thoughts/experience/advice?

Thanks

Thanks chaps.
Seems like RICS is the one to go for if I wanted to go that route.
Company pays all fees so no issue there.

Will have a good chat with the powers that be.

Bit of an update (bit late)

RICS APC commenced and underway. Anyone with any guidance/tips would be appreciated.

Hoping to become chartered in 2018.

Bit of an update.....

The not so good news is that I am not (yet) MRICS.

The good news is that today I found out I passed my professional review and am now MCIOB.

On a complete flip against my OP I am actively looking for a PQS role which seems pretty much i possible without some for of chartership. Hoping MCIOB will now get me that foot in the door!
