About Us

3 good reasons to study at The Survey School

  1. We are accredited by The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors.
  2. We have strong links with the surveying profession both in terms of potential employers and equipment manufacturers.
  3. The Course takes place in six two-week blocks spread over two years.

The Survey School is home to the TSA Surveying Course. We are the UK’s only commercial training centre that provides training to the land survey profession which is accredited by The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors.

The Survey School was established in Worcester over 30 years ago and, on the 1st May 2014, The Survey Association (TSA) took over the running of The School to ensure the continuation of arguably the best survey training available in the UK.

Since taking over the running of The School, TSA has invested in updating the IT systems and equipment and has received immense support from the survey instrument manufacturers.

In the late 1990’s, it was evident that there was a need for non-academic practical survey training and so the TSA Surveying Course was developed.
