Key Information

- Attend career enhancing events, including firm-wide professional development days.
- Temporarily transfer to another team to broaden your experience.

We welcome placement and graduate applications from all universities and courses, including those not accredited by RICS or RTPI, or unrelated to property and surveying. To support this, Fisher German will sponsor a part-time RICS or RTPI post-graduate degree for non-cognate graduates enabling full chartership with either organisation within optimum timescales.
Transferable skills from non-cognate courses that suit our graduate roles include:
- Confident communication
- Strong relationship building skills
- A positive can-do attitude
- Genuine interest in property/surveying
- Ability to work independently and take initiative
- Forward thinking with strong attention to detail
Our graduate programmes are designed to help candidates achieve their RICS qualification within two years of joining Fisher German. As a new team member, you will receive full support throughout your training and professional qualifications, with a dedicated Supervisor and Counsellor. If you are following the surveying route, you will also have access to an APC Doctor who will meet with you throughout your qualification period.
Cognate graduates begin their APC upon starting at Fisher German, with the expectation to sit their APC within 18-24 months. Typically, graduates gain their hours and competencies within 2-3 years.
Non-cognate graduates are expected to enrol in a Master's Degree or Master's Apprenticeship concurrently with their APC, studying for both qualifications throughout the two-year period.

- Ashby De La Zouch
- Ashford

Support during the first few decision-making weeks is crucial. It’s a daunting prospect, and it’s easy to see to think that any choice you make will have ramifications for the rest of your life, but that’s not the case. I started as a rural graduate, but five years later, I moved into infrastructure services, and from there, the twists and turns of my career began to unfurl.
