ProQual Diploma
Following changes to the CSCS card scheme in September 2017, The Survey School became a ProQual Centre and TSA wrote a specific Level 3 Diploma Qualification in “Engineering Surveying.” This is now up and running and recognised by OfQual. It is also accepted as a route to a Gold card by CSCS. Please view this flowchart guide to applying for the correct CSCS card.
The Diploma is a vocational qualification with a desk top study carried out by a qualified assessor on completion of the five mandatory units. You can read the Proqual Diploma specification here.
The Diploma is aimed at experienced surveyors who have no formal qualifications within survey practise . It is not recommended for trainees or anyone looking to begin a career in surveying.
The Survey School run courses which can help fill in any gaps in your knowledge. We run various short courses, including a 2 day Levelling and a 3 day Total Station course (both for surveying and setting out), a GNSS course, a 5 day Surveying course, plus a 5 day Advanced Setting Out. We can provide EWT sign off (evidence witness statement) for the relevant survey skills taught on a course. Please see here for course details.
