520			_aReports on the concerns expressed by quantity surveyors about the APC training programme. The RICS is criticised for testing candidates' overall competency, rather than technical knowledge, and universities are urged to align course modules with APC competencies. Critics also argue that too much reliance is placed on employers to provide on the job training, which because of work commitments can be hit-and-miss. The RICS believes that universities must be given the flexibility to respond to changing market and procurement practices. It is also working to improve APC guidance.
