Graduate training program-intensive GNSS, Setting out and site surveying course
 
Surveying is an exciting, rewarding, and secure profession, there is a great demand for competent engineers and surveyors. This course is your gateway to the world of engineering and surveying and prepares you to work as an engineer or surveyor.
 
Graduate training market
 
The market is very good; employers seek competent graduates who can easily work using surveying equipment. Search the CV library for site engineers or setting out engineers. Pay rates range from £120 to £200 per day.
 
You could earn about £1000 per week within a year.
 
Graduates have always had a tough time. We know this because we went through the same process many years ago. We understand the difficulties of securing employment for graduates.
 
Employers pay high rates to agencies and rightly expect value for money. Although recruitment agencies advertise for graduates, they are very reluctant to employ one who graduated a few years ago and cannot use Total Stations and other surveying instruments. It is significantly worse for overseas graduates.
 
They will ask probing questions to assess your suitability for the job. Our course provides comprehensive training and support to help you excel in job interviews and gain confidence in your skills and ability to work independently.
 
The chances are that if you studied surveying at university, it would have been many years ago, and you have forgotten most, if not all, of what you learned. Universities often fail to do justice to their students. Most classes have too many learners and too few instruments for you to practice. Teachers are not practicing engineers and are often outdated with what goes on at the site.
 
Finchley College's graduate training program offers a block of six consecutive days or six weekend training sessions in one month on the first three Saturdays and Sundays of a month.
You will also achieve two-unit certificates in setting out and using GNSS. Demonstrating your recent training and certificates to employers and agencies is essential.
 
Please note that this course does not offer full qualifications, as graduates are already highly qualified and six days is too short to cover all qualification syllabus. Still, you could gain two unit certificates in setting out and GNSS, to achieve a qualification and apply for a gold CSCS engineer surveyor card you must enrol in thee beginner to advanced level course.
