​

Beginners attend 12 days of training either on Saturdays or a block of 12 days over two weeks, or a combination of weekday and weekend course. We offer extended training to beginners if necessary at no extra charge.

​

Graduates from UK universities study the last two units of the qualification with emphasis on learning to use GNSS and Total Stations to improve their skills for surveying and setting out construction elements, and improve their job prospects. This course will set you apart from the competition as it provides post graduate training, understanding how to work as an engineer or a surveyor, academic references and post training support.

​

Existing engineers and surveyors will study the first four of the five units of the qualification. We will agree on an individual learning plan to suit their availability. This course does not include the setting out unit as existing engineers/surveyors should be familiar with this topic. We will visit learners at their workplace for Total Station, and setting out assessment.
