SYLLABUS for IMS Map360 Fundamentals Course Training Standard

Depending on the type of data that will be used by attendees, a track must be followed by the instructor. Some topics will be taught in both tracks.

Students expecting to work with Pointclouds will follow the Fundamentals + POINTCLOUD Track

Students expecting to work with Total Station or GNSS instruments will follow the Fundamentals Track

After completing the graduation requirements students will either be awarded the designation:

IMS Map360 Certified Professional – Fundamentals Or…

IMS Map360 Certified Professional – Fundamentals + Pointcloud

In class hours: Fundamentals: 32 hours

Fundamentals + POINTCLOUD: 40 Hours

A typical schedule will be 8am to 5pm with 30 minute lunch breaks and 15 minute coffee breaks, but schedule can be adjusted to meet the class hour requirements and group’s needs.

Graduation Requirements: Students must attend all training sessions

Students must initial the roster to document their attendance each day

Students must complete class time activities

Students must complete a final examination and drawing exercise and pass with a 80% or higher grade

Certification After completing the requirements for graduation students will be emailed a pdf document and their achievement will be recorded by Leica Geosystems/MicroSurvey software.
