Enrolment for 2023 IBSC-Recognised S-5B Hydrographic Surveyor and S-8B Nautical Cartographers Programs now open

IIC Technologies are thrilled to announce that the enrolments for the 2023 IBSC-Recognised S-5B Hydrographic Surveyor and S-8B Nautical Cartographers Programs are now open! After the success of the 2022 deliveries, IIC Academy is excited to continue offering these programs, which are designed to be flexible and accessible to students from all over the world.

The S-5B Hydrographic Surveying Program is a comprehensive 20-week course that is divided into three phases. The first phase, Theory/Remote Learning, provides 13 weeks of instructor-led webinars and e-learning modules, which cover all the necessary theoretical knowledge. Students have 21 weeks to complete this work from the comfort of their own homes.

The second phase is Practical, consisting of three intensive weeks of on-site lessons that take place in scheduled regions of America, Australasia, and Europe. During this phase, students will review and solidify their understanding of the theoretical material covered in the remote learning phase.

The third and final phase is the Comprehensive Final Field Project, which takes place immediately after the Practical phase. This four-week project is designed to confirm that students have all the necessary theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and competencies to plan, conduct, assess, and submit a hydrographic survey.

Remote learning delivery allows students to learn at their own pace and from wherever they are in the world. From nautical science to underwater acoustics, students will learn everything they need to know to become proficient hydrographic surveyors.
