Key facts
An apprenticeship is a job with training, combining practical experience with academic learning.
At least 20% of your contracted working hours will be classed as 'off-the-job'. This time will be dedicated to developing the knowledge and skills needed to meet the requirements of the apprenticeship, and therefore is not part of your usual work duties.
The off-the-job learning will be delivered through online University-led learning sessions and activities, one-day workshops, and practical learning experiences in your usual work setting.
Our Chartered Surveyor (Building Surveying) Degree Apprenticeship is delivered on a day release basis at our Chelmsford campus.
Assessment
You will be assessed at the end of each module you undertake (on-programme assessments) which will contribute towards the final award of your qualification.
You will also undertake an End Point Assessment (EPA) to complete your apprenticeship when all on-programme assessments have been successfully passed.
The End Point Assessment is aligned with The RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). This is a substantial piece of work that includes two years of supervised professional practice, along with a rigorous final assessment which will typically take a further 6-9 months to complete in addition to the duration of the degree.
Accreditation
Accredited by RICS
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is the world's leading professional body for qualifications and standards in land, property, infrastructure and construction. The RICS accreditation is a recognised qualification and a benchmark of professional competence.
