Intensive Total Station surveying training course focused on trainee's requirements!

Learn how to quickly set up the total station, station and orient to a direction or backsight point, and set out lines and levels for buildings, kerbs, manholes, and gullies. Use free-stationing to avoid obstacles when setting out, calculate areas and volumes, and more.

Attend Hitechniques' Lantra-accredited Total Station Training Course, earn an industry-recognised qualification, and be more confident on site!

NOTE: Although the training course is carried on GeoMax total stations with MicroSurvey FieldGenius and GeoMax X-PAD software, the class gives you firm base for using total station of all different brands.
