The Survey School is proud to announce the re-approval of our TSA Surveying Course by the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (CICES) for a further five years.

This endorsement, achieved following a comprehensive audit, emphasises our dedication to excellence in geospatial training, equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the surveying profession.
Survey School Manager, Alan Mansell, expressed his delight:

“We’re thrilled to receive this ongoing approval from CICES. It’s a fantastic recognition of the quality of the training we deliver”

The audit scrutinised all aspects of the TSA Surveying Course, including its curriculum and how it measures its impact in preparing students for career challenges and opportunities.  Past graduates, many now experts in their field, have recognised their time at The Survey School as a crucial starting point for their successful careers.
The surveying course delivers a comprehensive syllabus that covers all the varied subjects of surveying – topographical, measured buildings, utilities and GIS. It balances practical fieldwork with theoretical knowledge, so that graduates are equipped with the understanding and versatility needed across multiple sectors. Alan adds:

“We are committed to evolving the Surveying Course to include emerging technologies and methodologies. We’ll adapt so that our students continue to receive the very best foundational geospatial surveying course available in the UK”

The next TSA Surveying Course with space available begins 2nd March 2026.
