Working as a residential surveyor and valuer is the perfect way forward for those with an interest in property. This professional and well respected career commands excellent salary prospects and, due to an impending skills shortage in the industry, demand for surveying services is ever increasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The SAVA School of Surveying is the first training provider to offer a vocational route into the residential surveying and valuation profession, with the full support of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Working closely with RICS\u2019 experienced surveyors and lenders, SAVA, who have training bases in Milton Keynes, London and Barnsley, developed the level 6 Diploma in Residential Surveying and Valuation, drawing on over a decade of industry knowledge.<\/p>\n

The diploma offers a part-time alternative to university education for those with new career ambitions in surveying, and learners can expect to qualify in as little as 18 months. The course is structured to allow learners to continue to work full time whilst qualifying.<\/p>\n

Once qualified, SAVA graduates are eligible for direct entry into RICS at Associate member level, meaning they can offer RICS products such as HomeBuyer Reports and valuations, as well as having the prestigious AssocRICS designation after their name. In addition, the qualification provides the perfect stepping-stone towards full RICS Chartered Surveyor status.<\/p>\n

Hilary Grayson, Head of Surveying Services at SAVA, comments, \u201cInnovation has always been at the heart of SAVA. The residential surveying industry is set to suffer from a skills shortage caused by an ageing workforce and the traditional degree route into the profession is simply not feasible for everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re offering those with family and existing work commitments the chance to pursue a new career without sacrificing all their time,\u201d Hilary says. \u201cThis blended learning approach is perfect for learners looking to study while they work, and we have a dedicated team of expert trainers working hard to ensure that our online material is just as comprehensive and engaging as the face-to-face sessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course is challenging and a big commitment to undertake, but the career is very rewarding. We are proud to have developed a qualification that meets RICS standards and are excited to be able to offer this new opportunity to those looking to kick start their career in surveying.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SAVA School of Surveying holds three course intakes per year \u2013 Milton Keynes, London and a northern venue \u2013 with each intake limited to just 40 places. The school holds regular open days to promote the course and career opportunities available. For more information, please visit the SAVA website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The SAVA School of Surveying, created in 2014, emerged from Surveyors and Valuers Accreditation (SAVA) which is owned by National Energy Services Ltd, the UK\u2019s home for energy assessors, home inspectors, surveyors and low carbon professionals.<\/p>\n
