Graduate Surveyor Review

Depending on the team as this a rotational programme it often involves compiling, analysing and presenting date. Preparing reports, site inspections, meetings/communication with clients

Computer based skills on excel and powerpoint Soft skills including communication / handling clients Market information in regard to the UK / specifically London property market

It is good - you are immersed within the market and are given good levels of responsibility. The rotations allows you to explore different areas within the company and the industry (they can however add an extra stress when it comes to securing your next rotation especially for the competitive seats). The pay for a someone living in London is also low - I appreciate this can only be raised to a certain level but perhaps could be compensated with a more substantial bonus.

The programme in most respects is very well organised. HR are helpful with any queries or issue you may have. There is an endless list of people who can help you as well as the direct contact with your supervisor and counsellor. They prepare you well for the APC and give you sufficient time to complete your masters whilst working.

Very sufficient levels - through your supervisor, counsellor, APC mentor in the team your in and other people you meet throughout your time at the business

Study day per week

APC wise I appreciate it is an important qualification I don't feel having to complete the masters is of any direct help to my performance within the role. First of all, I work in residential departments and the masters is completely based on a commercial content. The content is also what I learn at work and its better to be learning in real life examples rather than through essays and multiple choice questionnaires. I dont find the masters helpful
