So, we’ve purchased an educational package from KOREC, including a Trimble robotic total station, a manual total station, a GNSS Network Rover, and the educational licensed software required for them. Construction Tutor, Paul Hayes, worked alongside Head of School, Nigel Ridout, and a Trimble Accredited Trainer from KOREC, to secure the new equipment that will serve our students at the leading edge of construction technology into the next decade. A Certified Trimble Trainer has offered to train our staff to upskill their current experience too, allowing us to provide the best opportunity for our students to learn with experienced tutors and industry-standard equipment.
