TSA training course

The Survey Association (TSA)
Introduction to Surveying Course

The TSA Survey Technician Training Course has been created specifically for the development of new entrants into the Geomatics Industry, or those with experience but no formal training. It is intended to broaden the student's practical experience and to supplement the theoretical experience gained from their Employer.

Emphasis is placed on the provision of technical knowledge to enable the execution of surveying tasks within the workplace.

The overall aim is to enhance the contribution each student will make to their Employer's organisation, and for the students to achieve a recognised qualification and become competent Survey Technicians.

The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (CICES) recognise the successful completion of the TSA " Introduction to Surveying Course " as a route to Technical Membership.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) recognise that successful completion of the course will provide 50 points towards the 100 points required for RICS Technical Membership.
