About the Land Survey course

Land surveying is the measurement and mapping of land, buildings and sites so that roads, buildings, plots and utilities can be planned and set out correctly. Surveyors work with contractors, survey agencies, land and revenue departments and construction companies, using instruments that range from tapes and auto levels to total stations and GPS/DGPS receivers.

This 200-hour Land Survey course combines theory, instrument handling, field exercises and computer plotting. You begin with chain, tape and compass surveys and field book recording, then learn levelling with an auto level and reduced level calculation, angle measurement and traversing with a theodolite, and total station set-up, observation and data download. GPS and DGPS work introduces coordinate systems and accurate position collection. You also calculate areas and volumes, plot contour maps and prepare survey drawings and layout plans in AutoCAD. Calculations and plotting can be followed in live online classes, while instrument practice takes place in the classroom and field at CADD centres.

The course prepares civil students, diploma and ITI holders and field assistants for roles such as land surveyor, survey assistant, total station operator, GPS survey technician and site layout surveyor. Learners who want stronger drafting skills for survey plans can follow it with AutoCAD Master.

You will be able to

  • Carry out chain, tape and compass surveys and record field books
  • Run levelling with an auto level and calculate reduced levels
  • Measure angles with a theodolite and run a traverse
  • Set up a total station, record observations and download data
  • Collect coordinates with GPS/DGPS and understand coordinate systems
  • Calculate areas and volumes and plot contour maps
  • Prepare survey drawings and layout plans in AutoCAD

Who it is for

  • Civil engineering students and diploma holders
  • ITI surveyor trainees and field assistants
  • Job seekers aiming for surveyor or survey assistant roles
  • Land, revenue and construction staff who handle measurements

What you need

  • Basic mathematics, including geometry and trigonometry
  • Ability to do outdoor field work
  • A Windows PC with AutoCAD for plotting work in live online classes

Land Survey course — FAQ

What is taught in the Land Survey course?

The course covers chain and compass survey, levelling, theodolite traversing, total station work, GPS/DGPS, area and volume calculation, contouring and plotting survey drawings in AutoCAD.

Who can do a land survey course?

Civil students, diploma and ITI holders, field assistants and job seekers can join. Comfort with basic mathematics and willingness to work outdoors are important.

What is the duration of the Land Survey course?

The Land Survey course runs for 200 hours, combining theory, instrument handling, field exercises and computer plotting.

Can I learn land surveying online?

Theory, calculations and AutoCAD plotting can be done in live online classes, while instrument practice is done in the classroom and field at CADD centres.

Will I get a certificate after the survey course?

Yes. Land Survey learners receive a CADD Training Centre certificate after the 200 hours. Survey agencies and contractors can confirm it online with the QR code or verification code.

What jobs can I get after a land survey course?

The course supports roles such as land surveyor, survey assistant, total station operator, GPS survey technician and site layout surveyor with contractors and survey agencies.

What is a total station in surveying?

A total station is an electronic instrument that measures angles and distances together and stores coordinates. It is the main instrument for modern building, road and land surveys.

What is the difference between GPS and DGPS survey?

Standard GPS gives positions with metre-level accuracy. DGPS uses a base station correction to reach centimetre-level accuracy, which is needed for engineering and land surveys.
