Quantity Surveying Training was commenced on 7 October 2010 in G.Dh. Thinadhoo. The training was participated by 36 participants and it was conducted in Misbaahul Huda School premises.
CHOCO would like to thank Huvadhoo Association for National Development (HAND) for their assistance in securing the venue.
The Course will run during the weekends. until the first week of November. An examination will be given in at the end of the course and successful participants will be awarded a certificate of completion. Weekly assignments will be submitted to be completed as home work during the weekdays.
Participants are expected to gain knowledge with regard to creation of bill of quantities and other construction related arithmetics and mathematics. CHOCO has received a huge support to join the program once the program was underway, however could not arrange extra seats due to the project capacity.
The program was delayed due to some financial difficulties in obtaining contracted finance from Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). TVET failed to provide advance finance as required but it was given after 9 months in July 2010. CHOCO was later told that the remaining money will not be received and the intention to terminate the contract. The reason is that project has expired at 15 September 2010. CHOCO feel aggrieved that TVET did not follow the contractual obligations and delayed the advance money required to start up the program. NGO sector is already crippled with shortage of finance and the last thing the sector needs is demoralization through false promises.
