Licensed Leisure Appentice Review

Advising clients in all real estate matters relating to licensed premises with a particular focus on valuation, redevelopment potential, and portfolio management. Ordinarily this would mean a variety of office based work, alongside inspections at sites.

My skills are developed daily throughout my apprenticeship, and indeed this should be true throughout my career. The property industry has a strong focus on continual professional development, amplified within the Savills organisation. This includes, those skills such as communication, presenting, and skills and abilities on specific systems and software.

The programme is enjoyable, days at work are varied and engaging, while the university provides valuable experiences to reinforce knowledge gained in the workplace.

There is a well established training programme now in place at both the university provider, and internally within Savills, with further improvements and optimizations planned for the future.

Savills are an excellent employer, with reviews here, and on other well respected metrics consistently at the top of the real estate field. Their dedication to their employees throughout 2020 was exemplary with a strong focus on developing talent.

The university provider has a well established operation, that has only been improved over past years. They are well placed to provide support for a wide variety of issues that may come up.

The university course has increased in its relevancy to my day to day role as I have progressed and now provides a strong reinforcement to knowledge that I have gained in the workplace. The structured training has also helped to develop skills such as formal writing.

Savills offer a wide variety of extra curricular activities to get involved in, indeed this is common place across the property sector, and has even adapted well to the various social distancing requirements that have been in place.

Yes

Savills is an excellent company that is continuing to develop in its goal to be the best, not the biggest real estate (as judged by our clients). This is a goal that everyone at Savills takes to heart to provide the best service, enabling Savills to retain the best people and win the best instructions.

You should definitely have a good understanding of the Savills business. The Savills website is excellent at providing good content that will definitely help at an interview. At its core Savills is looking to retain its core values when hiring, you should be able to demonstrate that you understand what these mean for you and what these mean to your hopefully future employer. Finally, it is also key to remember that you are applying to get the knowledge so you are not expected to be an expert in the field. This brings two points: Firstly, while not being an expert, you should still have a basic understanding of your job role. Secondly, the team are hiring you and not your knowledge, focus on developing your soft skills. Best of luck
