  • Utilise Smart Assessor to effectively track progress, upload portfolios, and maintain accurate learner records in line with awarding body and compliance requirements.
  • Hold a relevant engineering qualification (Level 3 or above), demonstrating strong technical knowledge across engineering disciplines.
  • Possess a recognised assessor qualification (essential), ensuring high-quality and compliant assessment practice.
  • Demonstrate strong communication and organisational skills, enabling effective planning, feedback delivery, and documentation management.
  • Build and maintain positive, professional relationships with learners and employers, supporting engagement and successful programme outcomes.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
