Failure to comply with Board determination.
Following the March 2024 BOSSI examinations, a candidate surveyor was found to have fabricated information shown on both the plan and in the accompanying report submitted as part of their examination which resulted in disciplinary action.
As outlined in the BOSSI Board Examination Determination the role of the mentoring surveyor is crucial in guiding the candidate surveyor in their preparation for their examinations and preparing the candidate surveyor for their work as a survey professional.
The Board determined that in this instance the mentor’s actions did not demonstrate the requirements and responsibilities of a mentoring surveyor as
- In accordance with Section 7 of the BOSSI Determination - The mentor is restricted from being a mentoring surveyor to any candidate that does not work at their office location for a period of 12-months from the time of the Board’s decision.
- The mentor was required to attend a meeting with the Surveyor-General and another Board member to discuss their actions and the role and responsibilities of a mentoring surveyor and confirmed the above restrictions.
