Zambia has of late been registering an ever increasing growth in the construction industry. Due to a rise in construction activities, there has been increased utilization of land that was previously unsurveyed for construction purposes e.g. customary land. Currently, there is a shortage of trained constructing surveying personnel due to phasing out of surveying training programmes at both certificate and diploma levels in colleges and trades schools. This problem has also been compounded by the shunning of construction related courses and has led to the infiltration of unskilled construction personnel. Ultimately this has resulted in an increase in shoddy works as people carrying out surveying duties have not undergone formal training. With the present increase in construction activities, there is a shortage of trained and skilled construction personnel in the industry. The construction industry is a major contributor to economic development and cuts across all sectors of the economy; hence there is a need for highly qualified and skilled personnel to ensure that the construction product is delivered on time, with adherence to high safety standard and to specified quality. Therefore, there is urgent need to train people in construction surveying. It is against this background that the Skills Award Certificate in Basic Land Surveying has been developed to meet the increased demand of qualified construction surveying personnel. 3.0 PROGRAMME PURPOSE
The purpose of the programmme is to equip the trainee with knowledge, skills and attitudes in Basic Land Surveying. 4.0 PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
