To become a Chartered quantity surveyor, the most common route is by taking a RICS accredited degree programme. Similarly, there are now live online courses available to train you in quantity surveying. This is a relatively new discipline which had not yet reached the online world until recently. Taking an online course is a great opportunity to learn while still working full time, something which you could not do if you took a traditional course. The College of Contract Management was one of the first online institutions to establish a quantity surveying course with an Advanced Diploma certification. This Advanced Diploma is also offered to those who do not have any prior experience with a surveying role.
