Forthcoming online seminars in August


IIMS is delivering three online seminars in August. First up is new President, Geoff Waddington, who is presenting SURVEYING AND INSPECTING SMALL CRAFT ENGINES on 4th August at 12.00 GMT (London UK time).


Geoff is a highly experienced marine surveyor, with an engineering background gained from service in Her Majesty’s Royal Navy before joining the profession. He is an active surveyor operating in both the UK and Portugal and is also an MCA coding examiner. Geoff has an all-round knowledge of small craft and ships of all types, but in this presentation he is focusing his attention on vessels below 24 metres. Many surveyors these days are reluctant to survey the engines, simply choosing to report the make and model of the propulsion unit and going no further.


Geoff will talk and show where to look and what to look for. He also has a wealth of knowledge and experience on common engine faults and will share those with delegates too, giving some practical hints and tips.


ONLINE REPORT WRITING SEMINAR at 14.00 GMT (London UK time) on 25th August.


Paul Homer, IIMS Chairman of Standards and Mike Schwarz, IIMS Chief Executive Officer will host and present the Report Writing online seminar.


Who should attend this seminar? The report writing seminar is aimed specifically at yacht and small craft surveyors, both those who are less experienced, but also those who feel they would benefit from a refresher.


IIMS receives too many surveyor complaints each year, generally caused by poor writing standards and skills, some of which are serious in nature. A report is the surveyor’s intellectual property and he/she lives or dies by it. This three-hour online course, featuring a lot of new content bringing the art of report writing bang up to date, aims to provide the essential information that a yacht and small craft surveyor needs to consider when gathering the information and then compiling his/her report. There are suggested clauses for use in the report to protect against possible litigation and advice in the event that something goes wrong. Additionally, there is advice on contracts and terms of business and how, when and where these should be used.


Scope of the Seminar Part I: Preparing for survey, gathering data and compiling your report Part II: Giving the client what they want and not what the surveyor thinks they want Part III: Preparation of Valuation Reports Part IV: Complaints, examples and practical exercises
