Graduates

Graduate Progression Programme (GPP)

This programme has been influenced and developed with the valuable input of our younger generation who have recently been through this journey.

Complementing your everyday on the job training, the GPP is a comprehensive and structured programme which starts when you join alinea and ends when you sit your final assessment. It is geared towards developing you as a professional and ensuring a smooth and successful APC journey, ultimately achieving chartership and becoming a professional surveyor.

GPP Support

The GPP is a key part of your progression and is supported by the following streams to aid your development:

• Comprehensive supervisor and councillor involvement ensuring a wide-ranging workload
• alinea Forum – discussion group on key APC topics
• Extensive CPD programme
• Thorough Final Assessment preparation
• Mock interviews from in-house APC assessors
• Active management of your project work to ensure a depth and breadth of experience
