The starting point for the medium and large qualification was consulted on in 2007. The detail will be made available on this website and at a series of regional workshops during July 2008 with consultation closing on the 15th August 2008.
As part of the consultation phase, a nine centre road show run in conjunction with BOINZ will provide the opportunity for regional meetings, presentations and feedback. Click here to see the schedule of meetings. |
6. What has already been decided?
|
In the small buildings
phase of the project a number of key decisions were made: |
- That there would be a two qualification structure for Building Cotnrol Surveying.
- That there would be overlap between the small and medium & large building national diplomas.
- That there would be alignment with the Architectural Technology, Quatity Surveying and Construction Management sectors where possible.
