Chartered Minerals Surveyor (Associate) Review

As a minerals surveyor I provide a range of property services (valuation, management, consultancy) solely focused on minerals and waste properties and their associated rights. Examples of this include: Negotiating a new lease for development of a sand and gravel quarry Completing rent reviews for managed quarries Valuing a recycling operation

Throughout the course of my apprenticeship I developed a wide range of skills. The ability to vary communication styles depending on medium and audience Significant improvement in writing style and confidence in this Public speaking Negotiation skills Knowledge and understanding of sector and wider property markets

I enjoyed the experience and opportunities I was provided throughout my programme. However, the degree study was at times unrelated to my day to day role so at times this felt somewhat tedious.

The structure of the programme at Savills is very good with excellent integration into the APC process

Throughout the early years of my apprenticeship the central support was lacking however, this has now improved and there is excellent support from the training and APC teams. I also received excellent support from my immediate team and the wider office.

There is support available however, at times there were issues on the degree programme that course leaders were unresponsive too

Helps provide wider context and valuation modules are useful. The remainder was not really relevant however, this is due to having a very niche role in the property sector

Yes, particularly in large cities

Yes

Good programme and pleasant environment
