Assistant Quantity Surveyor Review

The programme modules are relevant, informative and engaging, and the teaching staff are supportive and always willing to help or assist with any questions or additional support I may need. They provide real-life industry experience and can provide advice on work or education based questions and situations.

Currently, all my knowledge that I have about MEICA works, the water industry, quantity surveying and what my company do, I have learned through my colleagues and working in the industry - with some knowledge and skills being learned through academic courses. I have, also, been able to develop my interpersonal skills, improved upon my self-confidence, learned to work with contracts, and continue to learn and improve upon my industry-specific technical knowledge.

I try to participate in most work extra-curricular activities, for example: a popular event organised in the office I am based in, is a night playing skittles. I have also volunteered to take part in multiple charity events held by other companies that my employer has been invited to; in the past, these have ranged from an orienteering style team race to a black tie dinner and auction to a team water raft building and racing event on the River Thames.
Additionally, a couple years ago, I organised a hike up Pen Y Fan, in South Wales; where myself, a few colleagues and their family members kindly volunteered to participate and help raise money for Cancer research UK - this was a great success!

Firstly, I would advise to just be yourself - individuality can bring something new, don't be afraid of being yourself.
Secondly, the staff are all really nice and are always open to answering any questions you may have so if you have any notes or questions, don't be scared to speak up - it shows that you are engaged and interested.
Finally, even if you think you do not meet all of the criteria, apply anyway! They are always looking to develop new and existing talent. Don't sell yourself short.
