Property Services - Auctioneering & Property Services - Apprenticeship

What are the Costs?
None – SOLAS the State Body with the responsibility for funding, planning and co-ordinating Further Education and Training provide funding for the programme which ensures there is no registration fee for apprentices and employers.

What do Apprentices get Paid?
We encourage employers to pay a salary that they consider reasonable and reflects the level of work and study undertaken and that will attract the best candidates to apply for their vacancy.

Current guidelines from our Industry Steering Group state payment to an apprentice should correspond with the salary for entry level positions* within the industry with no deduction for the day release to attend college. This can range from €20,000 to €22,000 plus per annum depending upon working hours and geographical location.
