PROFESSIONAL ARTICLES AND DIPLOMA IN-SERVICE-TRAINING PROGRAM

NPM Geomatics offers a rigorous and structured training program for students wishing to complete their In-Service-Training for their diploma or Articles prior to registration as a professional land surveyor.

NPM Geomatics takes pride in the training it provides students, and therefore follows a rigorous selection process. Students are required to sign a contract for the full period of their training period – 12 months for In-Service-Training and 24 months for Articles.

Students who train at NPM Geomatics gain extensive and varied survey experience, including the processing of their survey data and producing final deliverables. This is advantageous in the market place after completion of practical training. Articled graduates work closely with a team of 4 professional land surveyors and gain exposure to the professional aspects of a wide range of cadastral and engineering projects.

As a result of the success of our training program, there is a very high demand for placement in the company. The standard of your submission and how you present yourself is therefore vitally important. We suggest that before submitting an application that you research how to prepare and submit an application and prepare for an interview.
