Apprentice Residential Surveyor Review

Trainee surveyor with my weekly pattern being two full study days a week with three days spent with my mentor doing on the job training and looking and various properties/defects and applying what I've learned through my studies to the role.

I've learned many new skills particularly in terms of the construction of a property as well as understanding the law principles and the sustainability aspects within the construction industry and what part they all play together.

With being a mature student and coming from a part of the business I had 16 years knowledge of then the transition in terms of studying again was initially difficult however 6 months in and I've adjusted to it and have a set routine in place in terms of how I study and understand how I learn things i.e. more of a practical style therefore as the programme gives you the opportunity to learn in a practical way with going out with the surveyors then I've found this part really enjoyable and have been surprised with how much I've learnt during such a short period of time.

Very, this is a great opportunity to learn new skills and once qualified have a recognised and respected qualification. Lloyds have backed the programme 100% and in turn have placed a lot of trust on each of the apprentices and although it has taken me a bit of time to adjust from my previous role when I managed 40 plus colleagues, I'm really enjoying the role and I'm delighted to have been successful when having applied for the position last year.

As expected, there has been a few teething problems particularly with IT systems and getting access to certain sites for study requirements however that aside then its been fairly well organised considering its the first time LBG have operated such a programme.

Full support, and if there's any questions that arise during my studies then there is always someone to ask/who is willing to assist.

Again fully supported

My salary has remained the same as my previous role therefore considering I'm getting paid a reasonable salary to study and learn the role then again I think this is great.

Yes we contribute hours to our day to make a difference which focuses on giving something back to the local communities/schools etc and generally helping out and making a difference to the local area.

Yes

LBG are focused on learning from the mistakes in the past and truly want o help Britain prosper and be able to help people get on the market and buy a property for the first time as well as helping out local businesses and watching them grow and succeed.

I would 100% recommend working with LBG. They have an open and honest approach and really want to make a difference to all new and existing customers whilst looking after their colleagues by offering a number of products and incentives that are aimed at providing the best levels of customer service.
