The Property Care Association has made a significant investment in the latest immersive learning technology to deliver its surveyor training in structural waterproofing online.
Similar to its traditional classroom training, the PCA’s online surveyor training option has been developed to enhance the knowledge and skills of those involved in the design, planning and installation of any structural waterproofing project below ground.
Delivered through a variety of live digital sessions, recorded videos and reading materials over a six-week timeframe, the programme offers a structured learning plan in a step-by-step format.
It includes an introduction to and principles of waterproofing, cement technology and the types of waterproofing systems, as well as a focus on joints, services penetrations and combination detailing.
Psychrometry, the theory of structures, deck waterproofing, preparation considerations, an overview of historical methods and insight into surveying existing basement structures are also covered, together with methods of repair and an overview of warranty providers’ requirements.

Jade Stocker, the PCA’s training manager, said: “Delivered through our new online learning centre, this hub of knowledge will help develop participant’s skills as a surveyor at a time and place to suit them.
““It teaches in great detail how to do basement, cellar, structural and below ground waterproofing.”
“The course is useful for people with a background in the building and construction industry and serves as a good foundation course for those with surveying experience who may be looking to then study for Certificated Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing (CSSW) status, attained by professionals in the sector.”
