Apprenticeship programmes
Built for careers
UCEM offers the following higher and degree level apprenticeship programmes, delivered by supporting online learning. Development of the required knowledge, skills and behaviours for all apprenticeships happens through a combination of workplace training provided by the employer and off-the job training provided by UCEM. It’s important that the employer is able to provide their apprentices with relevant workplace experience in order for the requirements of the end point assessment to be met.

The aim of this apprenticeship is to provide apprentices with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to pass the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) and become a Chartered Surveyor (MRICS). The combination of on-the-job learning in the workplace and both formal and informal off-the-job training is vital for this to happen.
The qualification studied on this apprenticeship can either be a BSc (Hons) or MSc depending on academic qualifications. UCEM offer the following pathways for both routes.
