Induction: In the first week at Allsop, you will undergo our induction course which is designed to introduce you to the firm, the partners, the current graduates, and your team.  You will be given instruction on our IT systems, where and how to find out both Allsop and property related information, and we will explain what we expect of you now that you are an Allsop employee. 

Rotation Scheme: We operate a two-year graduate rotation scheme where you will be given every possible opportunity and resource to help you pass your APC.  The scheme includes seats in both the agency and professional disciplines.  We encourage all our graduates to participate in a practical and active way in the day-to-day workings of the department and you will be given individual responsibility from the start.  Your experience will give you the opportunity to learn about all aspects of surveying and the practical skills needed to become a surveyor.

Training Scheme:  As well as learning on the job, Allsop has a comprehensive training scheme which is an integral part of our strategy to develop excellent surveyors. It is organised and run by one of our existing graduates and overseen by a partner. You will attend various courses, lectures and workshops covering all areas of surveying and the marketplace, and seminars on the various APC competencies. Some of these will be given in-house by partners and members of staff and others by the RICS, clients or outside consultants.

Each graduate is allocated an APC Counsellor and Supervisor who will guide you through your 2 years of training and prepare you for your final APC assessment.

Social

We believe it is important that all members of staff enjoy their life and their work.  We have a number of staff events for the whole firm throughout the year including drinks evenings, racing at Sandown, quiz nights, barbeques, and sports which are always well attended.  Our graduates also organise their own additional events which have included attending the Chinese New Year celebrations in China Town and a large variety of drinks evenings.  A number of sports are played by the firm including rugby and football and members of staff have taken part in the London Marathon and the London to Brighton bike ride.

Once qualified

The vast majority of our graduates who qualify go onto enjoy long-term careers with us.  It is in our interest as much as yours that our investment in you does not stop once you have passed your APC.  We will continue to help you develop and achieve your goals and aspirations, by further training and ensuring that your talents are being fully utilised.  As a firm we need to constantly develop our people and our skills to ensure that we continue to provide a first class service to our clients.

All surveyors take part in Continuing Professional Development and every member of staff receives annual appraisals which enable individuals to identify what areas to focus on going forward.
