Entering a Professional Training Agreement

To enter into a Professional Training Agreement (PTA) a graduate surveyor, in conjunction with his/her Supervising Surveyor, must prepare and submit the PTA document to the Board for assessment and approval.  The Board considers all PTA applications in accordance with its Policy for Approval of Professional Training Agreements.

The competency modules outlining the training requirements for a graduate surveyor are to be completed and countersigned by both the Supervising Surveyor and the graduate surveyor, outlining the graduate surveyor's progress in each of the competencies.
