Becoming a Building Surveyor HKUSPACE
The University of Hong Kong's School of Professional and Continuing Education (HKUSPACE) is offering a new programme aimed at providing the in-depth knowledge and technical know-how required to become a building surveyor in Hong Kong.
'Becoming a Building Surveyor' targets building surveying practitioners who have experience in the industry but have not yet earned any professional qualifications.
'The programme gives a comprehensive overview of the role of a building surveyor and provides tips on how to pass the Assessment of Professional Competence [APC],' says programme manager Franky Wong.
The demand for building surveyors is expected to go up after the government implemented the mandatory building-inspection and window-inspection schemes earlier this year.
'There are around 900 professional building surveyors in Hong Kong and about 60 graduates plan to join the industry every year,' says Wong.
