What’s happening ‘Off-Campus’

Surveying School Based Traineeships

Surveying and geospatial sciences use location to measure, map and model our world. Using modern devices such as GPS and spatial databases, professionals trained in the geospatial sciences manage where things are and how they connect. Surveyors can develop maps, 3D plans, establish borders, track moving points, pinpoint distances and mark the location of features of the terrain.

Certificate IV in Surveying is now offered as a school based traineeship.

RMIT also offer a demonstration to your students.
