Surveying training

Online programme

From the first lecture to working on your own in the field

The first Serbian online training programme in modern surveying. Learn to capture and process data with drones, laser scanners and surveying instruments, with a mentor and on real projects.

The programme combines online lectures, live fieldwork and processing a real project in a ready-made training environment. You don't need expensive equipment to get started: the practice software is ready from day one, and we guide you through every step.

  • 9 daysof online theory
  • 1 dayof live fieldwork
  • 7 daysof project processing
  • 15 daysof follow-up support
