2.0 RATIONALE
Zambia has of late been registering an ever increasing growth in theconstruction industry. Due to a rise in construction activities, there has beenincreased utilization of land that was previously unsurveyed for constructionpurposes e.g. customary land. Currently, there is a shortage of trainedconstructing surveying personnel due to phasing out of surveying trainingprogrammes at both certificate and diploma levels in colleges and tradesschools. This problem has also been compounded by the shunning ofconstruction related courses and has led to the infiltration of unskilledconstruction personnel. Ultimately this has resulted in an increase in shoddyworks as people carrying out surveying duties have not undergone formaltraining.
With the present increase in construction activities, there is a shortage of trainedand skilled construction personnel in the industry. The construction industry is amajor contributor to economic development and cuts across all sectors of theeconomy; hence there is a need for highly qualified and skilled personnel toensure that the construction product is delivered on time, with adherence to highsafety standard and to specified quality.
Therefore, there is urgent need to train people in construction surveying. It isagainst this background that the Skills Award Certificate in Basic Land Surveyinghas been developed to meet the increased demand of qualified construction
surveying personnel.
3.0 PROGRAMME PURPOSE
The purpose of the programmme is to equip the trainee with knowledge, skillsand attitudes in Basic Land Surveying.
4.0 PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
On completion of the programme the trainee will be able to:
