Overview

Land surveying has been around for centuries and is still essential to everyday life. Land surveying involves using specialised tools and techniques to measure and map land, and it is used in various applications, such as construction, engineering, and land management.

Land surveying begins with specialised tools, such as total stations, GPS receivers, and theodolites, to measure and map the land. These tools are used to measure angles, distances, and elevations and can also be used to create detailed maps of the land. Once the measurements have been taken, the surveyor will use specialised software to analyse the data and create a map of the land.

A career in land surveying can be rewarding for individuals interested in math, science, and working outdoors. Land surveyors are responsible for determining the location, size, and boundaries of land and property, and they use a range of tools and techniques to measure and map the land.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
