National trade body The Property Care Association holds its Certificated Surveyor in Remedial Treatment (CSRT) course in Stirling between May 15th and 17th.

The trade body’s three day course is suitable for surveyors requiring general knowledge of potential issues surrounding damp buildings and damp proofing, and students studying for the Certificated Surveyor in Remedial Treatment (CSRT) examinations.

Day one focuses on timber properties, biology, decay and insect infestations, day two on dampness, diagnosis and remedial treatment, and day three on legal issues, as well as health and safety.

Those taking part can attend the whole course or individual days as required.

Training is open to PCA members and non-members and, on completion of the course, candidates can opt to take the CSRT examination in June this year.

In a recent development all surveyors who achieve – or have already achieved – the CSRT qualification are now able to use this to register with Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) for their appropriate skills card.

Stephen Hodgson, general manager of the PCA, said: "The acknowledgement of CSRT by CSCS is a great endorsement of this highly-valued, industry qualification."
