I’m curious how many applications, online assessment, assessment centres interview stages you went through and if you ended up with an offer.

I have to relocate to Bristol.

I got an offer for the ‘project management degree apprenticeship’ with Arcadis, and I felt great. Later, I realised the course, which was initially advertised as being with the University of Exeter, is instead with the Chartered Institute of Building. They also changed the BSc (Hons) Project Management degree to the BSc Construction Quantity Surveyor. I removed Hons since I can’t find any information suggesting it is even an Hons degree. They clearly have a lack of quantity surveyors and are trying to use their degree apprentices to fill the gaps. 

This is literally all CIOB states this about the qualification on their website: 

Degree apprentices also need to be employed in the occupation they are studying. 
CIOB provides Level 6 degree apprenticeships in Construction Site Management, Design and Construction Management, and Construction Quantity Surveyor, and is also an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) for these standards.

Standards we cover:

• Level 3 Construction Support Technician
• Level 4 Construction Site Supervisor
• Level 4 Construction Quantity Surveying Technician
• Level 4 Construction Design and Build Technician
• Level 6 Construction Site Management
• Level 6 Design and Construction Management
• COMING SOON: New Version of the L6 Construction Quantity Surveyor
