Graduate training program-intensive GNSS, Setting out and site surveying course
 
Surveying is an exciting, rewarding, and secure profession, there is a great demand for competent engineers and surveyors. This course is your gateway to the world of engineering and surveying and prepares you to work as an engineer or surveyor.
 
Graduate training market
 
The market is very good, employers seek competent graduates who can work immediately using surveying equipment with ease. Take a look at the CV library and search for site engineers or setting out engineers. You can see pay rates of from £120 to £300 per day.
 
You could earn about £1000 per week within a year.
 
Graduates have always had a tough time. We know this because we went through the same process many years ago. We know the difficulties of securing employment for graduates.
 
Employers pay high rates to agencies and rightly expect value for money. Although recruitment agencies advertise for graduates, they are very reluctant to employ one who graduated a few years ago and cannot use Total Stations and other surveying instruments. It is significantly worse for overseas graduates.
 
They will ask probing questions to assess your suitability for the job. Our course will provide extensive training and support to help you succeed at job interviews. 
 
The chances are that if you studied surveying at university, it would have been many years ago, and you have forgotten most, if not all, of what you learned. Universities don't do justice to their students. Most have too many learners in the class and too few instruments for you to practice. Teachers are not practicing engineers and are outdated with what goes on site.
 
Finchley College's graduate training program will offer seven intensive morning sessions from the first Saturday to the following Friday of any month in London. You will learn to use Total Station and set out methods that will help you succeed at job interviews and give you more confidence in your abilities to work as a junior engineer or surveyor.
 
Please note that this course does not offer full qualifications as graduates are already highly qualified, but you could achieve two unit certificates in setting out and using GNSS. These will demonstrate your recent training and provide evidence of your competency in using surveying equipment and knowing what to do on-site. Certificates will prove invaluable and improve your chances of being offered a position.
