Unit 01. An Introduction to Marine Surveying for Yacht and Small Craft Surveyors
£395.00
This unit provides the marine surveyor with an overview of the marine industry and all the elements that make the industry what it is. This unit looks at trade, the types of vessels and the many different entities that make the marine industry work. This will give the student the background knowledge required to understand the details of the specific units covering the surveying of boats and yachts which can be studied later. A practising surveyor will find this unit a useful refresher to further hone their skills and increase their knowledge base.
Unit 1 concentrates on the role of the marine surveyor as opposed to the marine consultant. These two titles often cause confusion as to the differing roles they play.
For the sake of good order the following simple definitions for these two titles are:
“The marine surveyor is someone who measures, assesses, surveys, inspects, examines and reports on the subject of survey based on the client’s instructions”
“The marine consultant offers their skills and services based on their knowledge and experience in a specific field, providing advice and knowledge that the client does not have”
Topics covered include:
• Marine Regulation & Safety • The Purchase of a Vessel • The Law and the Marine Industry • Health and Safety of the Marine Surveyor • Survey Organisations • The Marine Surveyor in Practice • Business Management • Marketing your Business • Being prepared – SWOT Analysis • Finance
