    • I was given a good level of responsibility. I was given tasks to complete independently, however they were always checked and guidance was provided if required.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I gained a good practical insight into the residential property markets. I am sure this will assist me in my final year of studies and upon graduate employment. My internship also increased my awareness of RICS Assessment of Professional Competence, which will be very valuable when undertaking this in the upcoming years.
