Real Estate and Property Management

The BSc (Hons) Real Estate & Property Management Degree Apprenticeship allows employers to meet their succession planning needs with the majority of the cost paid by the Apprenticeship Levy. It provides a fast and effective route to career progression for new and existing staff to facilitate towards the RICS APC and subsequent RICS chartered status. Leeds Beckett University will support employers to devise and manage the workbased element of the apprenticeship.

• Every apprenticeship must have an Apprenticeship Agreement. This is a contract of service between the apprentice and the employer, confirming the apprenticeship and the standard being undertaken. This will be supplemented by a ‘Statement of Commitment’ signed by the employer, provider and apprentice, setting out the expectations, roles and responsibility of each party involved in the apprenticeship
• The apprentice must be already employed or specifically offered a position associated with the apprenticeship opportunity. In this case the employer will be responsible for the recruitment of Degree Apprentices. However, we can work with you to promote your opportunities via our website
• The employer pays Degree Apprentices at their normal rate whilst they are studying. Apprentices must be paid at least a minimum wage appropriate to their age and job role
• Apprentices require a mentor in the workplace who will oversee their learning and coordinate with the university
• Apprentices spend a minimum of 20% of their working hours completing study for the course

Organisations with a wage bill in excess of £3 million can fund the full course fees using their Apprenticeship Levy. If you are a non-levy paying organisation the government will co-fund your apprenticeship training by contributing 95% of the costs and you will pay the remaining 5% of costs.
