About this course

Why choose this course?

Expand your knowledge and experience of surveying with this qualification. This course will further your skills by teaching you how to conduct advanced Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data collection and set out surveys, create engineering drawings and perform advanced surveying computations. You will be trained in the operation of sophisticated surveying equipment and software for conducting more complex engineering surveys, such as road designs.

This diploma has a focus on geodetic surveying including how to conduct geodetic surveys and perform computations. You will also develop industry specific skills including how to design basic engineering structures and plan spatial data collection. A large selection of electives is available to choose from, such as producing maps for land management purposes, producing mine drawings and how to set out stormwater systems.

On completion of this course you will be eligible for an associate membership of the Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (Engineering and Mining Commission).

If you wish to extend your career in this exciting industry then you can also study the CPP60121 Advanced Diploma of Surveying.

Entry requirements

  • An IELTS score (academic) of 6.0 with no band score less than 5.0 or equivalent.
