HAVE YOU CONSIDERED TRAINING TO BE A SURVEYOR?

Do you have a passion for property? Have you considered how you can turn your day job into one that involves visiting different properties every day and surveying them for defects? Being a surveyor offers a varied, flexible, and well-paid career.
The Sava Diploma in Residential Surveying is a parttime, vocational qualification that offers a route into residential property and housing.
If you are thinking about a career change or adding to your portfolio of products, the diploma could be the perfect transition into a fulfilling and well-respected career. It is ideal for those already working within the construction industry as you will already have a wealth of knowledge upon which to build, and there are no formal entry requirements.
The programme can be completed in two years and most learners dedicate 10-15 hours each week to studying – carrying it out alongside their full-time job. Training is delivered via a mix of face-to-face and online learning.
• Work with a housing provider to undertake stock condition surveys or void inspections – you will have a deep understanding of construction and building pathology
• To set up their own surveying practice( RPSA can provide guidance and support for people wishing to be self-employed)
• To convert into residential surveying from within a related career in the built environment, for instance as a QS or commercial property surveyor
We host webinars and open days which give you an opportunity to find out more about the profession and the qualification. Visit our website or contact us today to find out more!
