GPS / GNSS Surveying & Setting Out Training Course

We understand that with the new technology come new challenges and we are here to help you overcome them.

Our GPS training course has been adapted for professionals who want to start with or improve their RTK GNSS measurement, get more site information and spend less time connecting dots in the office.

With the help of our instructor - a former site engineer and lecturer at Trinity College - you'll learn how to be more confident in using modern technology on site, complete your jobs faster and increase your revenue with better orders from contractors.

Who is this course for

• Architects/Engineers involved in preparing planning applications, surveying sites for preparation of plans for new buildings or structures or overseeing construction work
