Steve was a wine advisor / delivery driver and prior to that he had been a painter and decorator or several years . We asked Steve what made him consider a career in residential surveying and he said : “ I had no experience of residential surveying at all ... Ironically , in my previous role I was delivering wine to one of our regular customers . I mentioned to him I was thinking of embarking on a new career to bring more fulfilment and satisfaction , but ultimately was not sure what path to go down . We chatted some more and he told me he was a chartered surveyor and had been for the last 30 years . I shadowed him on a couple surveys and got the ‘ buzz ’ for it . Over the following weeks I did manhours of research into the industry as a whole and felt a career in Residential surveying would be right for me . Nearly three years on from that decision and I haven ’ t looked back !”
Katie was a secondary English teacher but her personal life lead her into the world of surveying and construction . She said : “ After my partner and I built our own house and started a small property portfolio , my head was turned ! I left education and worked in estate agency to get some practical , ‘ on-the-ground ’ experience before deciding residential surveying was the route I wanted to take .”
Fiona was previously a Senior Event Manager . She said : “ I have always been interested in buildings and property and grew up on building sites with my Dad being a property developer . I had never thought of this as a career option un someone told me they were doing the course and told me a little about it . I will always be grateful for that conversation which has ended up being a life changing chat over tea and cake !”
Rebecca Brydon says becoming a surveyor was the best thing she has ever done : “ There is great course content , perfectly targeted for the job role after the course , excellent lecturers and easy to understand and progress through at your own pace . I enjoyed the course content and I love the job ! I now have a great job , that I enjoy every day and after not quite a year I already earn nearly THREE times the salary I was on as an estate agent ”.
