The changes affect pathways, competencies, minimum training times and candidate templates.

Three new pathways have been added in total, including 鈥楺uantity Surveying and Construction鈥� which replaces the two previous separate faculty routes. Stuart Earl, a partner at Gleeds and London member of the Quantity Surveying and Construction Faculty Board at the RICS, said this was a response to the message from employers and not from the name change within the RICS: 鈥淭he Contractor and PQS routes have been merged. This recognises the fact that they do the same jobs,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e made it a lot clearer 鈥� it鈥檚 not a radical redraw.鈥�

The other two additions are 鈥楶roperty Finance and Investment鈥� and 鈥楬ome Inspection鈥�.

Several mandatory competencies have been merged or deleted, such as law which the RICS described as being 鈥渟o intrinsic to the profession that they are embedded within the technical competencies鈥�.

Meanwhile, candidates registering graduate route 1 must now have at least 23 months鈥� structured training before applying for the final assessment. This has been extended from 21 months due to 鈥渨idespread concern鈥� that candidates were applying too early.

The RICS has also cut the number of APC/ATC templates for candidates from 17 to 10.

Alpesh Patel, director of APC Coach, said the changes were significant, but that an 鈥渙pportunity had been lost鈥�.

He said: 鈥淭he biggest opportunity that has been lost was for the RICS to have more control of the supervisors and counsellors. They act as a net before candidates see the assessor and I think the RICS could have made these roles a lot stronger. The RICS could have forced them to go on a course. As it is, it鈥檚 the same old story.鈥�

In September the RICS will publish faculty specific guides to accompany the changes, which many anticipate will represent the biggest change. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e never done this before,鈥� added Patel.
