After a two-year break, IIMS is reintroducing its popular practical boat-building course in 2026. Delivered at the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis, this hands-on 5-day programme offers high-quality training in a small-group setting.
Ideal for students training to become marine surveyors and newly qualified marine surveyors.
Students enrolled in the IIMS Yacht & Small Craft Professional Qualification may count this course as one module.
Led by the Academy’s expert tutors on behalf of IIMS, the course combines theory and practical work, with two days focused on wooden boat construction and three days on Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP/GRP).
