In addition, the expectation is that consultants will have an opportunity to develop a technical specialism in areas such as Agronomy, Dairy, Beef & Sheep or the Environment. OUR APPROACH TO TRAINING At GSC Grays we take the training of our team very seriously.

We have a dedicated training committee within the business, representatives from each GSC Grays department sit on the committee to ensure that all training requirements are covered. We can pull on a pool of other in-house resources, which includes senior staff within the business, each with their own key specialities, to assist with training as and when required.

For placement students and graduate Land Agents studying for their APC we try and ensure they get the greatest possible depth of experience both practically and vocationally with access to the GSC Grays internal self-help group and external training. Along with structured guidance from APC Assessors within the business and mock interviews leading up to final assessment.

We actively encourage Trainee Land Agents and Farm Consultants within the business to sit their CAAV exams and provide the support necessary to do this, which crosses over with the APC self-help group.

It is essential that Trainees pursuing a professional qualification are provided with a wide variety of experience. GSC Grays will provide you with this and a transparent and structured career plan, so that this support continues after qualification.
