Dont just take our word for it were a little bit biased. So, we asked two of our former Trainees to tell us what they think about life at e.surv.

For me, the most positive aspects of e.survs trainee programme, are the excellent training and continued support I received from my mentors. The team provided me with clear and structured stages of training and development, undoubtedly easing my transition to AssocRICS qualification.

e.survs Trainee Surveyor scheme has been fantastic. It enabled me to kickstart my career as an AssocRICS surveyor faster than I anticipated. I was daunted at times but, via mentoring, classroom sessions, clever tech and lots of support from my Manager, Trainers and colleagues, Ive achieved my goal, a career to be proud of.
