Sava trainers are drawn from the very best experts in residential surveying. All practice in their chosen fields, whether in building surveying, valuation or law. Many have authored textbooks (some of which we use in our qualification programmes), or have written or contributed to industry guidance such as RICS professional statements.
They bring their wealth of experience into bespoke training material that Sava produces and convey their knowledge and enthusiasm into the classroom, practical surveying days, and online webinar sessions.
We are very fortunate to have them as part of the Sava team!
