About this course

Equip yourself with skills to carry out highly specialised surveying functions in areas such as mining and engineering construction, with this qualification.

Learn how to collect and analyse spatial data for complex engineering structures, roads, railways and surface and underground mining operations. This course will train you in the operation of sophisticated surveying equipment and software including Global Positioning System (GPS) and the processing of survey data to produce computer-aided engineering designs and mine plans.

Other skills you will also cover include processes to follow in order to conduct advanced Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) control surveys and complex engineering set-out surveys, how to manage risk and monitor engineering structures.

The advanced diploma qualification takes three years to complete, commencing with the certificate III level entry point.
