Apprentice Surveyor Review

I work in Commercial Agency, primarily with Industrial and Logistics. The role is varied with site inspections: measuring, inspecting and photographing, report writing and valuations, learning how to read leases and meeting clients.

I already worked in the company for several years, so I've managed to develop several skills in relation to client management and valuations.

Very much - you get one day a week to study which is a great way to be undistracted and relate your day to day job with what you are studying. It also helps to be able to speak to colleagues with any questions you might have. It feels more supportive.

Whilst there were a couple of issues at the start, the Apprentice team at Savills were very friendly and helpful. They addressed any issues I had quickly and accommodated me wherever possible to maximise the success of my apprenticeship.

UCEM is fantastic with checking up and supporting you throughout your studies. There is an abundance of information to access and contacts for help on a wide range of topics both personal and study related to assist you wherever you need.

Savills is well known for its great culture. There is an Apprentice Committee as well as office, regional and national opportunities to get involved with.

The culture. I've never worked anywhere where everyone you come across actively wants you to succeed and offer help - even if you don't directly work with them.

Let your personality come through when applying or interviewing. They look to employ people who will fit in and be themselves, as well as work hard.
