Frequently asked questions

Who is ESOS Academy training designed for?

The learning is designed for junior engineers, recent graduates, internationally trained professionals and working construction staff who need a clearer practical surveying workflow. Each offer states its own prerequisites and level.

Do I need my own surveying instrument?

Essential instruments for published practical workshops are provided unless the workshop page says otherwise. Learners should follow the stated clothing, PPE and laptop requirements for their session.

How many people attend a practical workshop?

The flagship practical format is capped at six learners so each participant can complete supervised tasks. Employer or custom-group arrangements may use a separately agreed format.

What does an ESOS Academy certificate confirm?

A certificate of completion confirms the Academy learning activities listed on that record. It is not a regulated qualification, professional registration, licence, safety credential or independent confirmation of workplace competence.

Are complete beginners accepted?

Suitability depends on the offer. Starter lessons begin with practical fundamentals, while intermediate modules or workshops may require drawing knowledge, prior preparation or supervised site experience. Check the prerequisites on the relevant page before booking.

Where do practical workshops take place?

Published sessions identify their confirmed venue or venue area before booking. ESOS Academy is based around Navan, County Meath; do not travel until the final joining instructions have been issued.

Can an employer arrange a group workshop?

Employers can ask about a dedicated group format. ESOS Academy will confirm the intended outcomes, learner level, venue, equipment, supervision, price and completion criteria before accepting a booking.

What happens if I need to reschedule?

The current rescheduling, cancellation and refund policy applies to the booking. Read it before checkout and contact ESOS Academy promptly if circumstances change.

Does Academy completion guarantee a job?

No. ESOS Academy records specified learning activities and supervised practice. Employment, role allocation and independent site responsibility remain decisions for the relevant employer and competent project team.
