Who the course
is aimed at

Students studying Civil Engineering or Construction Management

Graduate Engineers or Construction Managers

Joiners, groundworkers, supervisors and site managers

Others with relevant industry experience (please call us to discuss your specific situation and we can offer advice)

This course is aimed at people who would like to split the 5-day course over 2 sessions rather than attend the course in a single 5 day block. The levelling (2 days) and total station (3 days) components can be taken in any order, however, for those who do not have any experience of using surveying equipment, we recommend attending the levelling section before the total station section. It is ideal as a stand-alone course for those who are unlikely to need to use a total station in the course of their work.

Setting out for Construction is a CITB Approved Training Organisation.
