Orientation Programme for Surveying Graduates

About this course

The orientation programme is one of ISM's regular courses, aimed at surveying graduates joining the Survey Department as apprentice surveyors. It has three modules, each lasting two months, which gives roughly six months in total. Module 1 introduces departmental standing orders and survey regulations, professional studies, office systems and procedure, digital data management, departmental databases and IT applications, plus plan preparation, a field visit, case studies and technical writing. Module 2 continues with professional studies, modern technology, preparation of plans and returns, case studies and technical writing. Module 3 is practical, covering field surveying and field book keeping, and condominium property surveying. Written examinations are held at the end of each module, along with assignments, tutorials and practical examinations.
