Barker & Associates have a Graduate Training Programme and have trained, through to APC, some twenty-six Surveyors.

Generally the Practice takes on one/two students each year but this is dependent upon the number of students we currently support.

Students should apply to Barker & Associates well before graduating for preliminary interview and a period of work experience, preferably during the University holiday period.

The Practice offers financial support for appropriate courses.

We provide APC training including a structured training programme offering a Councillor and Supervisor, in accordance with the APC requirements set down by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Barker & Associates also support students with good quality “A” levels or other qualifications, on a part time route whilst gaining valuable experience in the work place.

Students should apply during their “A” level year, or mature students, for an informal discussion and work experience placement.

Barker & Associates offer school students the opportunity to carry out work experience for those interested in the surveying profession.

The Practice has a limited number of openings for work experience throughout the year.
