IIMS Professional Marine Surveying Courses & Qualifications

The IIMS has been formally educating and training marine surveyors for over 15 years and is recognised as a leader in the area of marine surveyor education and training. In October 2017, IIMS was recognised for the excellence of its education programme when it was given an international award.

The Institute is the only professional body of its kind to offer and award such qualifications in marine surveying and manages and maintains the top quality education programme on a distance learning basis.

IIMS is dedicated to developing the next generation of marine surveyors by offering quality education and qualifications that are recognised throughout the maritime world.

There are two formal IIMS professional qualifications offered that are awarded by the Institute:

Professional Qualification in Commercial Ship Marine Surveying

Course comprises four CORE units and twenty-two SPECIALIST units.

Professional Qualification in Yacht & Small Craft Marine Surveying

Click here for more details
Course comprises four CORE units and ten SPECIALIST units.

Both IIMS professional qualifications are equivalent to a level 4/5 education qualification and can be studied on a distance learning basis. All you need is access to the internet. The course content is current and is recognised to be of the highest standard in the industry.

Having gained their professional qualification in marine surveying, students may choose to upgrade to an Advanced Professional level too.

Here’s how the qualification works. To achieve either professional qualification, students will be required to pass the four CORE units, plus four additional SPECIALIST units of their choice. There is two years study time in which to complete the work. Units can be taken in any order. To upgrade to an Advanced Professional Qualification, it is necessary for students to pass a further four SPECIALIST units of their choice and a further one years study time is granted. There is no examination to sit, but there is an assignment to be completed for each unit that is then marked and assessed.

If you have any questions or queries about the IIMS professional marine surveyor qualifications, please email Vicki Loizides. Alternatively, you can click to register your interest in either course.
