Alternatively email Vicki Loizides at education@iims.org.uk or call her on +44 23 9238 5223 to reserve your place. New 4 day residential surveying course for yacht


and small craft surveyors set to run IIMS has launched a new 4 day residential programme which will run at the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK from 13 to 16 November 2023 under the tutelage and guidance of several experienced and senior IIMS member surveyors.


The key aim is to offer delegates a blend of face-to-face theory and practical marine surveying tuition with the final test being to write a simple pre-purchase survey report on a boat that has actually been inspected earlier in the week. This will then be marked and assessed.


The plan is to spend two days surveying two boats of different construction materials (subject to availability) in the Lyme Regis area. A further day will be devoted to detailed report writing tuition plus a review of the surveyor’s tool kit.


The cost for the training programme is just £650 (No VAT) without accommodation, or £995 (No VAT) to include quality accommodation. Food, drink, and travel are at own cost.


There is still time to join this programme which promises to be a great success. To do so please use the online form at https://bit.ly/3OalY36. Alternatively please call Vicki Loizides on +44 23 9238 5223 to register your interest.
