Don't just take our word for it - we're a little bit biased. So, we asked two of our former Trainees to tell us what they think about life at e.surv. "For me, the most positive aspects of e.surv's trainee programme, are the excellent training and continued support I received from my mentors. The team provided me with clear and structured stages of training and development, undoubtedly easing my transition to AssocRICS qualification." Kevin Cunningham - Former AssocRICS, now MRICS Surveyor
