Case Study
Claire Groom: After studying ergonomics and French at University followed by a series of jobs including letting agent, driving instructor and school caretaker, Clare decided she needed something to get her teeth into. She had already begun to do some work in her family's civil and structural engineering company and realised that this was something she really enjoyed. She spotted an advert for WiSET's Built Environment Returners course and quickly applied. Students on the course were expected to undertake a number of hands-on exercises and complete a practical work experience placement. While on the course Clare developed a real taste for surveying and realised that there were lots of possible avenues in this area of work. She explored a number of different routes to gain further experience and qualifications, and is now in her final year of the MA in Property and Building Surveying at Nottingham Trent University.
