The workshop will cover both the theoretical steps required to measure a course and the detailed practical application of them. Candidates completing the course will have the knowledge to accurately measure courses. After several subsequent successful measurements done as individuals, and the documentation of these, candidates will be able to apply for accreditation as international measurers”.
