The GCA Hydrographic Area of Practice Coaching Program is an initiative to encourage the professional development of emerging professional hydrographic surveyors to Level 1 and Level 2 in Hydrographic Surveying certification.
Coaches and trainees must be current GCA or S+SNZ members who reside in Australia or New Zealand.
Coaches must be a current Certified Professional Hydrographic Surveyor at Level 1 or Level 2 with a minimum of four years of experience. The program is not compulsory for certified surveyors - involvement is voluntary.
Individuals working towards certification or requiring early career advice are invited to participate as Trainees.
Note: A Hydrographic Surveyor can apply for certification without participating in the Coaching Program.
