The RICS DRS offers a variety of training courses at different times of the year. Currently, the RICS DRS is an approved adjudicator trainer in both its Queensland and Western Australian jurisdictions. As a nominating authority (or equivalent) in these states, the RICS DRS is the logical choice for educating organisations or individuals on the current trends and principles of alternative dispute resolution services. The RICS DRS can also cater courses to specific needs of an organisation.
