Looking forward to a career in surveying?
Learn how to collect and analyse spatial data for complex engineering structures, roads, railways and surface and underground mining operations.
Throughout this course you'll learn about the operation of sophisticated surveying equipment and software (including GPS) and the processing of survey data to produce computer aided engineering drawings and mine plans, building on the skills gained in the Diploma of Surveying.
This course is part of the Lower fees, local skills initiative where you'll only pay half the course fees from January 2022. Tuition fees are capped at $1,200, or $400 if you're aged 15—24 or eligible for a concession, plus Resource fees.
