Education & Training from QSi

Introduction

Nelson Mandela said “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world”. At Quantity Surveyors International we fully endorse this philosophy. It’s not about where you currently stand in your personal education journey ... it’s about where you will be in the future and how QSi can support you to reach your goals. Whether it’s a route to professional body membership, updating your annual CPD or training to reach the next level on your career path, QSi, in partnership with other organisations, is here to help.

Modes of delivery

Whilst many QSi courses are delivered online, we also have a rich heritage of delivering in-company bespoke courses tailored to meet with your specific organisational needs. This may include subject matter from ‘back-to-basics’ through to specialist management and leadership training. All courses are accredited by QSi and all our tutors and materials are internally moderated before delivery. QSi also host 1 day CPD courses and short breakfast seminars, so please watch the main news and events page for further information.

Qualified Course leaders

All QSi courses have been through our rigorous internal QAA standards and are delivered by industry practitioners with a minimum of 20 years’ experience within the sector. The team is appropriately supported by FQSi academic led professionals and this ensures that when you achieve the final QSi completion certificate, you can be confident that the learning you have undertaken is first class.

3D Virtual Tours & 360 Imaging for AEC Tendering, Tracking Progress & Visual CommunicationThursday, 4 September 2025From saving carbon through 40% fewer site visits, to increasing quotation accuracy through better informed decision making & fewer assumptions, the benefits of visualisation workflows stack up rapidly. These include measurable outcomes like lowering carbon use - which is a reportable benefit on a project - as well as improving safety through visual communication and tagged hazard briefings. When data sets are kept current, teams can also track and verify progress more effectively on AEC projects.  Advances in mobile device technology mean that access to this data can now be through most consumer phones we carry every day, and camera technology advancements have lowered the price point of equipment. Together these changes have democratised access to 3D data and made investigating the return on investment a worthwhile endeavour. The aim for this First Thursday talk is to demonstrate examples, workflows and technologies that can easily be leveraged on projects, and how these tools could potentially be shared among a project team to maximise their impact and benefits.
