Course content

Whether advising clients, assessing building condition, managing construction projects or safeguarding the rights of building users , building surveyors are a vital cog in the property and construction industry. In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy — and the resultant Building Safety Act (2022) — compliance standards are more precise than ever. On our building surveyor course, you’ll learn everything you need to know about maintaining those standards.

We’ve designed this course with two audiences in mind: those already experienced in the sector, who are now looking to specialise as building surveyors, and those from unrelated academic or professional backgrounds seeking a conversion route into the industry. Either way, our CABE, CIOB and RICS, triple-accredited course will fast-track your journey into Building Surveying, Building Engineering and Project Management — and ultimately, towards the landmark quality stamp of Chartership.

Incorporating real-world case studies and live projects, and delivered by an experienced team of surveyors, engineers, project managers, our course opens new professional pathways in the design, construction, maintenance and repair of buildings — from new-build to listed heritage assets.

Key Features:

  • The course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE), enabling you to progress to Chartership as you progress through your career.
  • Our flexible study options support part-time learners, who wish to balance employment with further study. Significant academic support and guidance is in place to help students returning to study after extended periods in employment, and students who are pursuing high-level study for the first time.
  • Our graduates are highly regarded by employers and enjoy excellent career prospects. Previous students have gone on to work for companies including Gleeds, Rider Levett Bucknall, Faithful + Gould, Cushman & Wakefield and Laing O’Rourke.
