Finchley College ProQual level 3 Diploma in Engineering Surveying

Finchley College was recommended to me as a very good option for doing and completing a ProQual level 3 Diploma in Engineering Surveying. I found the tutors to be excellent and very helpful, they made the learning experience very interesting and pleasant. All equipment required for video evidence was provided by the college, the tutors were very patient in explaining the operation of the equipment for anyone who was unfamiliar with it. I would highly recommend Finchley College to anyone wanting to pursue course's provided by them.

Pawel Setting out engineer

Pawel Setting out engineer
I did ProQual NVQ Level 3 in Engineering Surveying for engineers when I had a gap between two projects. I spent this time really extensive to learn/refresh surveying techniques.

The course cover practical training sessions and also theoretical aspect of surveying. I’m glad I attended Finchley college for my course and now I’m able to get gold card for engineering surveyor. This should help me to get more opportunities for work.

You don’t need to afraid if you English is not you first language. Teacher is amazing and has got patient to explain the easiest way even difficult knowlage.

I recommend this course for everyone who wish to get surveying skill as a beginner and also for existing engineers. I got 10 years expiriance as setting out engineer and I still learnt a lot.

I want to give special thanks to Mr Reza, our teacher. He was brilliant, knowledgeable, and always professional.

ProQual Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Surveying

I would like to share my experience and recommendations. Recently, I completed my engineering course at Finchley College in 2024 and earned my NVQ L3 Diploma in Surveying and Engineering.

Although I have been working in engineering for the past ten years, I needed a formal qualification. I already knew most of the concepts, but I still learned new techniques with the help of Reza and the college team. I am very happy with the instructor and the team’s experience, knowledge, and friendliness.

I highly recommend attending Finchley College for your training. I have taken other courses in the past, but Finchley College’s training is the best and provides deep learning in every subject of engineering and surveying. After completing the course, you will be more confident to work independently. Additionally, upon completing the course, you will be eligible to apply for a professional SCCS cold card, a benefit no other training provider offers.

Good luck with your studies and whichever training you choose to pursue!

Best Wishes.

I am sorry that you are not happy with your experience, but certification for a Level 3 qualification in Engineering Surveying is only after successful completion of all assessment criteria and achieving standard of an engineer or a surveyor which you have not yet achieved.

For certification we follow the awarding body requirements, which require full practical ability and knowledge of the principles of surveying.

Some learners take much longer to complete and need a longer training at extra fees, but the majority complete and receive their certs within a year.

We listen and value feedback's and act on them

we have improved our processes for a better training experience.

Just a really great course

I'm really happy with my experience at Finchley College. The tutors are great—knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about surveying. I was fortunate to have 1-2-1 training which meant I got the best possible training. The course was mix of theory and practical which was super useful.

Reza has a wealth of knowledge that has literally taken a life time to accumulate and I am really grateful for the help and transfer of some of that knowledge.

Survey Engineering Course

I have received a high level ( probably Best possible in London) of education with flexible time, supportive and helpful attention in each step of the learning process. The college provides variety of learning materials and aids, conducts relevant theoretical and practical exercises, introduction in best survey and setting out techniques. Mr. Reza and his small but extremely determined and competent team make me confident and ready to start my new career in Surveying Engineering thanks to the expert level of education provided.

Best College for set-out Engineers

I came across Finchley College on their YouTube channel, where they've put free lecture videos. I decided to join the college and was met with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The programme was flexible and adjusted for my learning needs. I was provided with online videos and ebooks, enough to cover all the aspects in order to become a set-out engineer. Arguably I was offered more study material than the UNI I paid for way more. Having a professor so passionate about their work gave me the confidence in asking even the most trivial of questions in order to become a better engineer. All the students are welcome to drop by any time after graduation to ask questions that they may face in the field over their career as engineers, I can't remember any other school I've attended that welcomes past students like that. To me this is a big plus and thumbs up to Finchley College.
