Careers:

With the high demand for Quantity Surveyors in Ireland, graduates can look forward to excellent job opportunities.

Other:

• The program is open to all Quantity Surveying and related companies within Ireland.
• The company must have direct involvement in Quantity Surveying to allow the apprentice to achieve the learning outcomes of the program.
• Apprentices can be appointed from within an employer’s existing workforce or can be recruited as a new resource.
• The company must get approval to train apprentices.
To do this companies must demonstrate that they have the capacity and the ability to provide quality, relevant on-the-job training to apprentices. They must also allow the apprentice to attend all classroom / online learning days and these days count as workdays.

An annual student registration charge of €3,300 per year pre apprentice is required. This can be paid by the apprentice or the employer on their behalf.
