BUILT FOR TALENT
A degree apprenticeship provides an alternative route for you to gain a university degree at the same time as developing valuable experience and skills in the workplace. It’s a brilliant opportunity to earn a salary and have your training paid for.
UCEM apprenticeships are a three-way partnership between the employer, the apprentice, and UCEM. The aim of the apprenticeship is to provide you with the knowledge, skills and behaviors to meet the requirements of the End Point Assessment (EPA) and your career afterward. For most UCEM apprentices, this is the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). On passing the APC, you will become a chartered surveyor (MRICS).
