I was unaware IIMS has been offering online only training seminars during the pandemic
Comment: Perhaps unsurprisingly given the development of online platforms such as Zoom and Teams, delivering remote training is now far more acceptable to the majority of surveyors than it used to be.

the technology is hard to work out and the quality of broadcast is poor
