In most regions, this profession is not licensed and regulated, and people can simply open surveying businesses without any training and experience. Nevertheless, having certifications from a professional organization, like the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS), will increase employability and attract clients. Organizations like SAMS usually expect people to meet experience requirements and pass an exam in order to start work. seopro101 18.06.2021 23:10:35 Other people go into work in boat inspection without accreditation or special training. People with boating experience and familiarity with regulations may advertise themselves as marine surveyors. Some of these individuals are highly competent, but it can be harder to find work as people may be concerned that they won't adhere to ethical standards or will not be familiar with how to prepare reports in a style and format preferred by the industry. .-_-. 28.05.2021 6:04:22 One way to become a marine surveyor is to apprentice with a working surveyor. This will give people exposure on the job to a wide variety of craft and settings. While apprenticed, people will gradually take on more responsibility and eventually start generating their own survey reports, learning about reporting standards in the industry, requirements for various types of craft, and how to work with insurance companies and government representatives.
