Course Description

In this course you will develop the skills and knowledge required to monitor engineering structures using surveying methods. This includes analysing project specifications and design information to identify components to be measured and monitored, and planning monitoring activities. The course also includes implementing risk management and reviewing work outcomes against specifications. It also includes setting up and using surveying equipment to measure, record and reduce surveying data using spatial coordinate and reference systems.

This course is suitable for surveyors who use broad theoretical and technical knowledge to analyse information as well as interpret and provide solutions to unpredictable and sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems. The course supports those who work in a technical management role in a surveying team.
