These regulations shall come into operation on 1 March 1990.
In these regulations, unless the contrary intention appears —
Form means a form in Schedule 2;

supervising surveyor means a licensed surveyor who undertakes to provide training under a professional training agreement under regulation 4.
Subject to these regulations the period of field service referred to in section 9(1)(b) of the Act —

The parties to an agreement for professional training shall be a supervising surveyor and the person who desires to obtain a certificate of competency.
A person is not eligible to be a supervising surveyor for the purposes of an agreement for professional training unless that person is a natural person who is a licensed surveyor of not less than 2 years standing.
A person is not eligible to enter into service under a professional training agreement unless that person has been awarded or is entitled to be awarded a degree, diploma, certificate or licence granted in or outside this State by some university, institute of technology, college or other public educational institution that is recognised by the Board for the purposes of section 9(1)(b) of the Act.
A supervising surveyor shall not —
enter into more than one professional training agreement in any period of 12 months; or
have more than 2 persons undertaking field service under a professional training agreement with him or her at the same time,
without the approval of the Board.
A professional training agreement shall specify the training to be provided under the agreement.
A copy of a professional training agreement shall be forwarded to the Board not later than 6 months after the date of its execution.
If the Board is of the opinion that —
the person being trained under a professional training agreement is not eligible to enter into the professional service agreement; or
the training to be provided under a professional training agreement is not satisfactory,
the Board shall not register the agreement.
Where the Board refuses to register a professional training agreement the professional training agreement ceases to have effect for the purposes of these regulations.
A copy of a professional training agreement forwarded under subregulation (1) shall be accompanied by the relevant fee specified in Schedule 1.
[Regulation 5 amended: Gazette 4 Apr 1997 p. 1761.]
The secretary shall maintain a register of professional training agreements and shall enter therein such particulars as are directed by the Board.
A professional training agreement may with the consent of all the parties to the agreement and with the approval of the Board be assigned to another supervising surveyor.
The person undertaking training under the professional training agreement to be assigned under subregulation (1) shall pay to the Board the relevant fee specified in Schedule 1.
[Regulation 7 amended: Gazette 4 Apr 1997 p. 1761‑2.]
A person undertaking training under a professional training agreement may apply to the Board for a reduction of the period to be served under the professional training agreement.
An application under subregulation (1) shall be accompanied by such evidence as is necessary to support the application.
Subject to subregulation (4), where the Board is satisfied that an applicant under this regulation has gained practical experience in surveying under the educational qualifications obtained by that person or otherwise the Board may direct that the period of service to be served by the applicant under his or her professional agreement be reduced to such term as the Board specifies and the period to be served by that person under the professional training agreement shall be reduced accordingly.
The Board shall not reduce the period of service to be served under a professional training agreement to a period that is less than 6 months.
Where the Board is of the opinion that the field service served under a professional training agreement has not provided training to a satisfactory standard or for any other reason the Board may of its own motion or on application by a party to a professional training agreement direct that the period of field service to be served shall be such further period as is specified by the Board subject to such conditions as are specified by the Board and the agreement shall be extended accordingly.
