IIMS receives too many surveyor complaints each year, generally caused by poor writing standards and skills, some of which are serious in nature. And the situation is not improving. A report is the surveyor’s intellectual property, and he/she lives or dies by it. This maximum 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.


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: Valuation Reports Part IV: Complaints, examples and practical exercises


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. The cost of the seminar is £75.

Nick Parkyn presents: HMPE synthetic rigging - what a surveyor needs to know 24th


February


The online seminar of about 90 minutes will be delivered by Nick Parkyn on 24th February from 09.00 (UK time). Nick is a surveyor who has studied this subject in-depth and also written a handy guide about it too. He plans to go into the subject in detail, highlight best practices that should be adhered to, and take the audience through a set of actual examples of good and bad usage, evaluating these just as a marine surveyor would need to do in the real world.


If the date and time are not convenient for you, there is an option to purchase the video of the seminar to watch on-demand at a later date.


The aim of this seminar is to upskill marine surveyors with knowledge about HMPE synthetic rigging, its characteristics, and how to survey it.


Specifying or upgrading to HMPE synthetic rigging represents a cost-effective “upgrade” for any cruiser, cruiser/racer, or racing sailing craft. Nick will explain why.


Based on increasing acceptance and affordability of synthetic rigging, marine surveyors will increasingly be requested to survey craft with HMPE rigging.


The seminar will educate marine surveyors on the new fittings and hardware and usage of HMPE for lifelines, running rigging, and standing rigging.


The seminar will cover all aspects of HMPE usage, working life, terminations, and best practices. For more information and/or to reserve your place go to https://bit.ly/3nK9QHY.
