Forthcoming IIMS event: Report Writing Online Seminar
The next quarterly Report Writing seminar will be broadcast using the zoom video conferencing platform on Tuesday 1st November at 10.00am UK London time and will last for 3 hours. The seminar is open to anyone wishing to brush up their report writing skills. Your hosts and presenters for this seminar are Paul Homer, IIMS Chairman of Standards and Mike Schwarz, IIMS Chief Executive Officer.
IIMS continues to receive an unacceptably high level of complaints about surveyors 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 online course, featuring a lot of new content brings the art of report writing bang up to date. It 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. There is also a practical session and delegates will be required to do a little preparation before the seminar in readiness and encouraged to contribute their thoughts. So, if you want to tidy up and strengthen your report writing skills this is a good place to start.
