Junior Estate Agent Level 2 Apprenticeship
Completed: 2026
Employer: Belvoir Estate Agents & Lettings Wednesbury, part of TPFG
Learner: Harvey Pattle
At Knights Training Academy, we are proud to support learners at the start of their careers in the property sector, helping them build confidence, knowledge and a clear pathway for progression.
This also forms part of our wider partnership with The Property Franchise Group (TPFG), enabling franchise businesses across the group to access high-quality apprenticeship training for their teams. Harvey’s success is a great example of how that partnership helps develop talented people within the industry.
Harvey shared that one of the biggest strengths of the apprenticeship was how well it fitted around his work commitments. The deadlines and structure gave him the time he needed to complete his learning while still progressing in his role. This balance made the apprenticeship both manageable and valuable in his day-to-day work.
He also highlighted the support he received from his tutor, Victoria Johnston, describing it as “above and beyond.” Harvey said Victoria went into depth on any areas he needed help with and was always polite, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the programme.
Through the apprenticeship, Harvey developed a stronger understanding of key areas of estate agency, including the age and eras of properties, as well as different methods of sale. He said this knowledge has helped him significantly in his day-to-day work.
He also explained that the apprenticeship has made him more confident when speaking to clients, helping him to share accurate and factual information with vendors and support deals more effectively. This has not only improved his knowledge, but also strengthened his professional confidence.
Harvey described the apprenticeship as having a positive impact on both his personal and professional growth. He said it made him feel more qualified, more knowledgeable and, in his words, “more grown up” because of the way the learning was condensed and applied in a practical way.
He also said he would recommend Knights Training Academy to others, particularly because of the support he received and the way the apprenticeship could be woven around work without becoming disruptive.
Harvey’s experience shows how apprenticeships can support real career development in a way that works for both learners and employers. Through the combination of practical workplace learning, tutor support and a strong employer partnership, apprentices can build the knowledge and confidence they need to succeed.
Congratulations to Harvey on completing his Junior Estate Agent Level 2 apprenticeship, and thank you to Belvoir Estate Agents & Lettings Wednesbury and TPFG for their continued partnership and support.
The government’s new Home Buying and Selling Reform Roadmap makes one thing clear: the property sector is moving towards higher standards, stronger professional expectations and, in time, mandatory qualifications for estate and letting agents. While the consultation on minimum qualifications is not due until 2027, the direction of travel is already set.
Our Level 3 Housing & Property Management apprenticeship is open again for new starts and we’re offering priority booking for existing employers.
Our Spring 2026 quarterly newsletters are now live – tailored guidance for both apprentices and employers:
The Government has announced major apprenticeship reforms, backed by £900m investment over the next three years.
The direction is clear. More focus on 16–24-year-olds, key skills gaps, and making apprenticeships easier for employers to use.
At Knights Training Academy, we are proud to support learners at the start of their career in the property sector, helping them build confidence, capability and a clear pathway for progression.
Mandatory qualifications for property agents are firmly back on the agenda. Revived by the RoPA report and reinforced through ongoing Government consultation, the direction of travel is clear. The sector is moving towards higher standards, greater accountability and formal recognition of competence.
At Knights Training Academy, we are proud to support learners working across housing and property management to develop the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to progress in their careers.
