RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Pre-degree
CRICOS: 00122A
This qualification reflects the role of skilled surveying technicians who hold advanced surveying skills and perform duties in the field involving the performance of precise measurements and setting out of structures using specialised surveying equipment. In the office they map onsite measurements and draft plans. Surveying skills are applied in a range of industry contexts, including town planning, civil construction, mining, engineering, agriculture and defence.Cadastral surveying must be undertaken under the supervision of a registered surveyor. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.This qualification is suitable for an Australian traineeship pathway.
