1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My first rotation around CBRE is in property management. On a day to day basis I could be on site carrying out an inspection or in the office reviewing rents and service charges, no day is ever the same.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Since starting I have become more 'workplace' confident, this has enabled me to gain experience with clients and tenants on a daily basis. My computer skills have also developed as a result of property management.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

The university is very flexible and you are able to get in contact will fellow students and tutors quickly, meaning you're never alone. The program structure guides you through the degree and I would say it is very simple to understand, due to the how the tutors teach.
