m IIMS in exploratory marine


surveyor apprenticeship talks IIMS often debates with others within IIMS and externally too about where the next group of younger marine surveyors will come from and how the Institute might help to develop them. The UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency has recently concluded a highly successful recruitment exercise and as a consequence has employed a considerable number of new surveyors, so it seems the talent is about.

So, it was with great interest that IIMS found itself with a place at a meeting in London to discuss the development of a trailblazer apprenticeship scheme for marine surveyors. It was an eye opening meeting, consisting of IMARest, other surveying organisations, a couple of employers and various interested seats of learning in the form of maritime universities.


But the most important delegate at the table was the man who has implemented similar apprenticeship schemes before, including one for marine pilots. He knows who to engage with, how to prepare and execute the paperwork and so on. There is a willingness by all who attended the inaugural meeting to explore further. Watch this space.
