Following the success and popularity of the first Practical Marine Surveying course held in 2023, IIMS is back with its second iteration.
Are you new to the marine surveying profession, or do you have limited surveying experience and need more knowledge? Perhaps you’re wondering whether you’re inspecting the boat correctly and if your reports have enough detail to meet modern day expectations? Our Practical Surveying Course could be just the ticket for you.
IIMS Practical Surveying Course
This four-day residential programme being held at the Boatbuilding Academy in Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK aims to offer delegates practical, hands-on surveying experience.
For the first three days, IIMS senior and experienced surveyors will assist and guide you in inspecting and surveying three different boats, as well as discussing toolkit requirements and how to use them. The surveyors are also be on hand throughout the three days to answer any questions you may have about inspections or the surveying profession in general.
The final morning will be dedicated to an in-depth lesson on report writing, which will offer tips and advice, delivered in person by IIMS CEO, Mike Schwarz. The programme concludes in an assessed test where you will write a scaled down report on one of the vessels you inspected during the course. This is done via an online platform and should be completed at a later date once you are back home and have had time to take in all you have learned. Don’t worry, it’s not a pass/fail mark, instead you’ll receive useful feedback to help you with your future career.
“Well done IIMS. I chose this course because I felt that this Institute would provide the technical and hands-on training that I was looking for. You continue to deliver. Overall, this course was really very good and I felt it was good value for money.”
Andrew Summerell, IIMS student.
