The Diploma of Surveying at TAFE NSW refines your surveying skills and knowledge and prepares you for leadership roles in the surveying and spatial information services sector.

In this practical, industry-informed course, you will develop the skills you need to contribute to data collection, data enquiry, design and drafting of survey, engineering, environmental, cartographic and cadastral maps and plans.

You will learn how to perform precise measurements and use specialised surveying equipment, analyse designs, data sets and plans, and present the results to meet the standards required in survey practice.

Through theory and practical course work, you will learn to:

Plan spatial data collection
Conduct GNSS surveys
Conduct engineering surveys
Perform advanced surveying computations
Conduct geodetic surveys
Perform geodetic surveying computations
Design basic engineering structures

You will strengthen your real-world skills in surveying, and be able to independently:

Collect, store, quality-assure and analyse surveying data
Use and maintain surveying equipment
Use GNSS and Remote Pilot Aircraft System (RPAS) technology
Use Computer-Aided Drawing (CAD) and Geographic Information System (GIS) software

Stand out in a global job market by developing the key soft skills needed to get ahead in this field:

Conflict resolution
Mathematical talent
Excellent communication
Excellent problem solving abilities
Supervisory and leadership skills
Attention to detail

The use of geospatial technology (including global positioning systems, geographical information systems, and remote sensing) in mapping and surveying is also increasing.

Emerging technologies being adopted include:

Cloud computing
3D laser scanning
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones
