Dear Colleague,
As the first international qualification for marine surveyors, Lloyd's Maritime Academy and the Maritime Operations and Logistics Centre have
been educating marine surveyors, potential marine surveyors and associated maritime professionals since 1998. Over 2,000 participants from all
corners of the world have taken, or are currently taking, the Diploma in Marine Surveying.

The course is designed primarily to support the valuable and important work that marine surveyors around the world carry out. It also aims to
help recruit future surveyors, not just from the dwindling number of seafaring professionals, but also from non-seafarers that have the academic
ability and an interest in learning about marine surveying. This course provides the knowledge to assist in your personal and professional
development towards becoming an informed, professional marine surveyor.

The maritime world is truly international and in order to give marine surveyors and seafarers every opportunity to study, distance learning is the
chosen method of delivery. This eliminates geographical boundaries and barriers because modules are delivered via the course website. Students
can access the modules wherever they are in the world and have the opportunity to interact with other course participants in a secure and
dedicated environment.

The Diploma in Marine Surveying meets the Continuing Professional Development criteria for the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and
the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and is also accredited by the Nautical Institute.

Successful completion of the course provides a credit rating towards an Open University undergraduate degree as well as towards the units
required to obtain a masters degree at Middlesex University, through a work based learning degree programme for successful diploma candidates

We are confident that you will find this unique diploma provides you with a level of knowledge and skill that will benefit you and your employer.

We look forward to receiving your application to enrol.
