Who the course
is aimed at

This course is aimed at people who are confident using the total station and/or GNSS, have a working knowledge of 3D coordinate geometry and construction drawings and who have basic computer literacy.

Learning to use survey and 3D mapping software correctly can boost your project productivity, demonstrate your competence as a business to external parties and allow engineers to spend less time in the office and more time out on site.

Setting out for Construction is a CITB Approved Training Organisation.
