One of the highlights of this year for us was undoubtedly our Graduation Day on Friday 14 October, when 14 students were presented with their awards and certificates for completing TSA Surveying Courses 54 and 55.
Graduation Day is such an important part of our annual calendar. It is a wonderful opportunity for the students, and the companies they work for, to come together to celebrate their achievements and acknowledge the time and commitment that has ensured the desired results. There are numerous routes into the surveying profession, but we believe our practical, non-academic training provides an accessible pathway into one of the most respected professions.
In a profession that is still largely male dominated, it is particularly pleasing to see an increase in the number of female young surveyors coming through. Encouraging diversity and inclusivity into the workplace is a really important part of the Survey School and TSA’s ethos.
This year, we decided to try and capture some of the atmosphere of Graduation Day by videoing the event. We filmed some fabulous footage and, once the rain stopped, we managed to get some amazing drone shots from high above Worcester’s beautiful racecourse too.
Watch the video here to see this year’s cohort celebrate the completion of the TSA Surveying Course and also to learn more about the impact of the training on the next generation of land surveyors.
TSA Surveying Course
The surveying course takes place over two years and is broken down into six two-week blocks. The course covers many topics, from basic surveying and mathematics to measured building and specialist surveys. Emphasis is placed on students thinking through problems for themselves, and they are encouraged to share their experiences and methods of working, which contributes to the overall body of knowledge of the cohort.
In addition to TSA Surveying Course, the Survey School offers a range of short courses and refreshers, from AutoCAD and Revit fundamentals to utility mapping and setting out.
