(Australia) Commercial Management - Fundamentals

Why choose RICS?

RICS is a global, impartial, not-for-profit professional body acting in the public interest. As a leading professional body in Australia’s construction sector, RICS is well placed to deliver this training. Its members undertake extensive education, training and continuing professional development and are subject to a robust regulatory regime. The global reach of RICS ensures that the training reflects international best practice while being locally developed and delivered for the Australian market.

The training programme aligns with RICS Global Construction Standards, ensuring relevance across multiple jurisdictions and strengthening the global transferability of commercial management skills. This is particularly valuable in Australia and the wider APAC region, where clients and contractors seek assurance that international recruits and local staff are working to the same globally recognised baseline.

Each module is explicitly aligned to one or more RICS competencies, supporting candidates in developing the knowledge and experience relevant to the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). Completion of training modules supports competency development but does not in itself constitute attainment of RICS competency levels or replace APC requirements.

Modules may be taken individually or as a structured program. Suggested learning pathways are available for contractor, client and consultant roles.
