Advancing Setting Out Skills Across The Industry
Advancing Setting Out Skills Across The Industry
No single project or postcode defines construction in London, and that’s exactly why our setting out training here is built around range rather than one type of site. From high-rise commercial builds in the City and Canary Wharf to housebuilding across the outer boroughs and major infrastructure works threaded through the capital, London site engineers need to be ready for whatever the next job brings.

given week, our delegates are working across high-rise commercial developments in the City and Docklands, residential schemes in outer boroughs from Barking to Ealing, and infrastructure and utilities work that runs beneath and between all of it.
We work with contractors, housebuilders and civil engineering firms across Greater London, as well as individuals funding their own training to break into or progress within the industry. Whether you’re setting out foundations for a housing scheme in Croydon, working on a commercial fit-out in Stratford, or supporting infrastructure works near the M25 corridor, our courses are designed to reflect the reality of a live London site.
Whether you’re building a career on London sites or developing your company’s workforce across the capital, there’s a route built for where you are.
Build a career in site engineering with training shaped around the scale and variety of London’s construction sector. Our setting out courses give you the practical skills, qualifications and confidence to get hired and progress, whether you’re aiming at high-rise commercial work, infrastructure, or residential housebuilding.
Cut down on setting out errors on site, build genuine competence across your team, and reduce reliance on external engineers. Our corporate training solutions can be delivered at your London site or premises anywhere across the capital and the wider South East, ideal for contractors managing multiple sites at once.
Partner with us to support surveying modules at London’s colleges and universities. We give your students industry-standard, practical setting out training in a city where the range of live construction work gives graduates an unusually broad grounding.
London’s construction sector is unlike any other in the UK, simply because of its scale and diversity. On any given week, our delegates are working across high-rise commercial developments in the City and Docklands, residential schemes in outer boroughs from Barking to Ealing, and infrastructure and utilities work that runs beneath and between all of it.
Our most popular course and the one most London delegates start with. A full week covering total stations, levels and the practical basics every site engineer needs, taught in small groups so everyone gets genuine hands-on time with the kit.
For engineers who already have site experience and want a recognised qualification to support progression into a senior site engineer role, particularly relevant given the competence requirements now expected under the Building Safety Act, which carries added weight on London’s high-rise schemes.
A five-day programme for those already working on site who want to sharpen technique and speed across the fast-moving, high-value projects that define much of London’s construction market.
Two days covering drawing interpretation and setting out data in AutoCAD, useful for engineers working alongside design teams on London’s larger commercial and infrastructure projects.
Responsive hands-on tuition, real site scenarios, and ongoing support — here’s what makes our setting out training different.
Choose a scheduled date at our London location or enquire about in-house training delivered at your site anywhere across the capital.
All setting out training uses professional robotic total stations. Small groups mean every learner gets proper hands-on time throughout the week.

Whether you’re building a career on London sites or developing your company’s workforce across the capital, there’s a route built for where you are.
We focus on building the real-world setting out skills and confidence London’s site engineers need to perform from day one, whatever type of project they’re working on. Our training is designed around outcomes, not attendance records.
Learning doesn’t stop when the course ends. Every delegate on our London courses gets ongoing access to our eLearning platform and community forum, plus the chance to attend future refresher courses and practice days at no extra cost.
We work with colleges and universities across London and the South East on setting out and construction surveying modules, a level of academic credibility most commercial training providers can’t claim.
London is one of 10 UK and Ireland locations where we run public setting out courses, alongside Kent, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Warrington, Bristol, Belfast and Dublin. Most competitors operate from a single base.
We train on multiple total station types, not just one, so London engineers are ready for whatever instrument they find on any construction site across the capital.
Our ProQual Diploma in Engineering Surveying is aligned to the competence-proving requirements that have become critical since the Building Safety Act, an area of particular scrutiny on London’s high-rise residential schemes. Future-proof your workforce today.
