APPRENTICESHIPS:
Kye Minter James Hart
We had taken on our first Trainee Quantity Surveyor, Kye Minter, back in 2015. During 2017, Kye has made great strides in his collage work, achieving distinctions and is on his homeward run towards completion of this first stage of his education. He has been given more and more responsibility and is now working quite independently on a number of projects, and even able to offer support to our latest recruit. In September 2018 he hopes to start a degree course in Quantity Surveying whilst with us at Quantity Surveying & Project Management Ltd and we expect him to do very well indeed.
In October 2017, James Hart joined our team as an apprentice and will start his college studies later this month. We are very pleased with what we have seen so far, his dedication to the work, ability to take on new concepts, and ready to muck in where required. He is already starting to experience life on site, and has contributed to some projects through to completion.
COLLABORATION WITH BRIGHTON UNIVERSITY:
Our Director, Tony Dias, has been working closely with Brighton University with the development of a Quantity Surveying Degree Course. We hope that our Trainee, Kye Minter, will be one of the first to attend this new degree course programme. These are very exciting times indeed for Quantity Surveying & Project Management Ltd and Brighton University. Watch this space!
APM PROJECT MANAGEMENT, APM PMQ Qualification is a tough qualification to achieve, and only about 66% of those who take the exam will pass it. At Quantity Surveying & Project Management Lt, our Operations and Marketing Manager, Alison Dowrick, attended this course and we are proud to say that she succeeded with a result much higher than the required pass mark.
