Matt was brilliant, taught me with very little experience how to use, set up and read total stations as well as the dumpy levels. He also explained how to fill out the level book and work through the different formulas to get the correct readings and results. Enjoyed meeting with him was extremely patient and helpful, Thank you.

Learned from basic to advance level survey by proffessional tutor.so happy for the knowledge i gained through this course.

The course was well structured and well worked through, as somebody who's done surveying before, it's been a long while since I've used those instruments again, and this course has everything you need to re-engage you into it. The course goes down to the very basics of the surveying works and pushes through the different ways of getting a job done, which allows you to gauge the level of work needed for the type of jobs, plenty of practice time, plenty of theory work and explanation, it will be very hard to not learn anything from this course.

I was added on to the course at last minute,in addition with my husband, which was a best decision I have taken. I enjoyed each day and felt knowledgeable.
Matt is a very good teacher, he explained every thing in a very interactive way and cleared all the doubts.
I recommend you take the course, you won't regret it.

I would like to thank Matt for making this course so interesting, he had me wanting to come back every day. Anyone questioning weather to do it or not, go for it, you won’t be disappointed, it has gave me a new sense of excitement for continuing in engineering

MATT HUGHES TWS COURSE
He is very friendly, very free with everyone. I really love the way he teach, I understand every bit of the training, always ask questions and you will get the answers loud and clear.
It was very fantastic, I think, I have to say that, I'm the luckiest among all. I got a free hotel room, he made it possible. I will always thank him for this. I give it to him %100.
I will always recommend him. Very fantastic.

The course is well taught and simply explained

I Didn't Really Understand What My Role as a Temporary Works Supervisor would Require, But Was Made to Feel Very Welcome And Involved During The Course.Matt (Trainer/Instructor) Was Excellent in His Delivery Of The Course. Everyone Felt Engaged. Brilliant

I very enjoyed the TWS training session with Matt i came away with a lot knowledge from the course he helped me with great guidance through out the course his delivery for the course was very helpful thank you matt

Our instructor Matt was very informative and very fun. The way he set up the course, implementing real life situations and the attention that he gave to the participants was top level and very helpful. Excellent training course.

Matt Hughes
Just want to say thank you for a very interesting and informative course.
The handouts were so useful plus all the notes I took during the day. The course was presented very professionally but in a relaxed way, with plenty of information to be carried forward on future projects.

Matt Great Tutor, I had a great experience with Matt, as the way he explained is outstanding and he explained the course with the practical scenarios. His Practical practice in this course is highly recommended and he is very kind person as well.
He gave me his own place, very hospitable and helped me in getting me a job in my own construction field.
He looked after me in every aspect and I highly recommend this course with Mathew for new students as we used advanced technology like TS016, lasers, Auto-levels and GPS.
Overall, I had a great experience and will never forget this week in my life.

I finished the course last week, and it was incredibly informative, enhancing my knowledge and skills. One of the highlights was learning how to set up primary control through closed traverses, which is particularly useful for my job. Matty, our instructor, was fantastic. He brought a wealth of industry experience to the table and shared numerous real-life examples that made the content more relatable and easier to understand. His friendly demeanor and willingness to address any job-specific questions made the learning process enjoyable and effective.

I completed the course last week, and found it very informative, building on my own knowledge and understanding. Throughout the course I was also able to learn new skills of particular use within my job role such as setting up primary control through closed traverses. Matty was great from start to finish, reflecting on personal experiences from his time in industry, as well as answering any of the groups job specific questions.

I recently completed the CITB Assured Setting Out and Surveying – 5 Day Course, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience. The course content is comprehensive and covers a wide range of essential topics for anyone involved in construction, from civils and earthworks to buildings and reinforced concrete.

Highlights of the Course:
Practical Focus: The course is primarily hands-on, ensuring that participants gain practical knowledge that can be directly applied in the field. Real construction drawings are used throughout, which adds a layer of realism to the training.
State-of-the-Art Equipment: We had the opportunity to use the latest site engineering tools, including Leica TS16 and CS20 controllers and Trimble S9 Total Stations. The inclusion of Leica Dumpy levels, rotating dual grade lasers, and pipe lasers ensured we were well-versed with industry-standard equipment.
Comprehensive Coverage: From levelling and setting out by tape to advanced training with robotic total stations, the course content is incredibly thorough. Each day is packed with valuable learning, from basic site levelling and taping to complex total station training.
Professional and Friendly Instruction: Matt, our instructor, was incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. His friendly demeanor made the learning environment comfortable, and his expertise ensured that we received top-notch training.
Accreditation and Continuous Assessment: The course is fully certificated, with qualifications uploaded to the CITB Construction Training Register immediately after completion. The continuous assessment approach means there's no pressure of a final written exam, allowing for a more relaxed yet productive learning experience.
Key Learnings:
Levelling and Setting Out: We mastered the use of tape measures for setting out, transferring TBMs, and setting up profile boards for various applications.
Total Station Training: We learned to set up total stations, carry out calibration checks, install control points, and perform a range of surveying tasks including topographical surveys and setting out points for construction.
Robotic Total Station Proficiency: The advanced training covered setting positions using control points, creating local coordinate systems, and managing data efficiently. The use of robotic total stations was a major highlight, showcasing their capabilities and applications in modern site engineering.
Overall, the CITB Assured Setting Out and Surveying course is a must for anyone looking to enhance their practical skills in the construction industry. The balance of practical training with the use of the latest equipment, combined with the expert guidance of instructor like Matt, makes this course an invaluable investment in your professional development. Highly recommended!

Great course, learnt a lot and very valuable for site. Matt made the course enjoyable and made me understand topics I struggled with.

Did the setting out course with Matty. Wow a knowledgeable week learnt everything I needed to know about land surveying and what a enjoyable experience.

The training was great. With very detailed theoretical lessons and above all practical work to better understand this theory.
The trainer Matt made the subject easy to understand and always made sure to answer all questions asked. We emerge from this training with a lot of new knowledge and ready to take on new challenges in the field.
I highly recommend this training because it is very enriching.

I recently completed an amazing surveying course that exceeded all my expectations. This course was not only highly educational but also incredibly engaging, making it a truly enjoyable experience from start to finish.

The days were comprehensive, covering everything from fundamental surveying principles to advanced techniques and applications. The course was well-structured, with each module building seamlessly on the previous one. This logical progression helped me grasp complex concepts more easily and retain the information better.
