Becoming a Supervising Surveyor

Professional Training Agreements (PTAs) provide a mechanism for Graduate Surveyors to become registered as licensed surveyors in Victoria.  The purpose of the Professional Training Agreement is to provide a structured training program of education, training and development of skills. 

A Graduate Surveyor needs to have a Supervising Surveyor for the duration of their Professional Training Agreement.  A Supervising Surveyor must be a licensed surveyor who has been registered for more than two years and can not have more than two concurrent Professional Training Agreements.  A Supervising Surveyor has a highly responsible role in providing an appropriate learning environment for the Graduate Surveyor.

A Supervising Surveyor will:

• develop a suitable Professional Training Agreement in conjunction with the Graduate Surveyor
• provide supervision, leadership and tutoring to the Graduate Surveyor
• review and provide guidance to the Graduate Surveyor on all projects and surveys prior to submission to the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria
• report to the Board about the Graduate Surveyor at the completion of the agreement
