IIMS Diploma Professional Qualifications - new education assessors and markers required


Some of the IIMS Professional Qualifications are currently getting a makeover and are being updated. Unit 1: An introduction to Marine Surveying for Yacht & Small Craft Surveyors has been re-edited, revised, updated and released to new students from the July intake onwards. Unit 4: Report Writing is the next for a review and update.


A new module entitled Business Management is being readied for launch in time for the October student intake. This module will help the students learn that there is more to running a successful small business than just performing the survey and writing a quality report.


Our assessor and marker pool is sadly ageing. IIMS is keen to attract some new markers for the education programme. If you have a detailed and specialist knowledge of any area of marine surveying and would like to become a marker, please put your name forward without obligation to Lorna Robinson. IIMS pays a modest fee for each paper marked. The work is not onerous and is all conducted online via email meaning you do not have to leave your office. Please email Lorna Robertson for more information at education@iims.org.uk.
