Graduate Pathway

At SHW we have a comprehensive RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) approved graduate programme which gives future Surveyors the opportunity to attain valuable experience working across our various property service lines. We invest time and knowledge into our graduates to ensure they are interacting with clients, working alongside colleagues and Partners from across our offices and developing the know how to make property work! This gives you the best possible experience in order to pass the RICS APC (Assessment of Professional Competence) - the gold standard in our profession.

Summary

From day 1 as a Graduate at SHW you will be following a well structured programme led by SHW Directors and Associates who have expert knowledge in the APC process. The programme will give graduates the opportunity to rotate across departments, offering fantastic exposure to SHW's service lines. You will soon become aware of SHW's national reach, with the work the firm does across the country, whilst offering incredible local knowledge.

Luke Longley

"I joined the Crawley/Gatwick Office of SHW in February 2012 as a graduate from the University of Portsmouth. I was enrolled onto the APC pathway at the earliest opportunity and was given support and guidance throughout my training, and the opportunity to rotate to other departments to ensure I gained the level experience required to achieve MRICS status. I passed my APC in November 2014 and now work in the Professional department specialising in Lease Advisory"
