COURSE DESCRIPTION
Surveying supports all construction activity and infrastructure engineering in urban and rural environments, as well as mapping and monitoring the natural environment. Activities include defining land boundaries, engineering and mining surveying, offshore surveys, digital mapping, precise positioning and property development.
Surveying is a perfect combination of indoors and outdoors. You’ll learn how to use a range of hi-tech tools such as GPSs, laser scanners, mapping drones and surveying robots to create high-definition 3D models of the built and natural environment. You’ll also learn how to apply maths and powerful software to deliver products for a range of applications. To get you work ready, you’ll apply these skills through 60 days of approved industry training.
Future careers
Surveying is an in-demand global profession with excellent opportunities in industries that are closely linked to land markets, urban and rural development and engineering construction.
