Overview of Role

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

4/5

I am an apprentice Quantity Surveyor in the midlands property team. On a day to day basis the majority of my time is spent managing BMHT housing schemes across Birmingham under an employers agent role.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I enjoy all aspects of my programme with only minor issues relating to the university I attend.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have developed my ability to use my initiative as a project progresses and circumstances change. My confidence in my own work and to be able to critique others has also improved as my knowledge of building and construction has increased.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

The company and working aspects of the programme is well structured and I have a clear path set out before me on what I want to achieve and when I will do so however there is a slight disconnect between this and the studying at university.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I receive an outstanding amount of support from my employer on a constant basis.

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

4/5

I am given as much support as I require for my qualifications however much of what is provided is not applicable to my actual work at my company.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

I would say certain aspects including Quantity surveying specific modules definitely support me in my day to day work however the more generic modules fall short as it's not always applicable to what I do.
