Regarding options for learning at cadastral agencies, answers to those questions are
presented in Table 2.
All agencies, with two exceptions, encourage Continual Professional Development or Life-
Long Learning (LLL). Also all agencies state that there is a permanent education institution
for public sector employees in their countries (with same two exceptions) – named in Table
3. It is similar regarding the questions if the agency undertakes study trips to reference sites
inland or abroad and if the agency organizes exchange of experience workshops with
experts from other countries' SDIs (only one exception to each).
On the question if professional associations or legally mandated organizations require
attending professional events to maintain certification the answers are divided equally (3:3).
No agency provides internship programmes where apprentices could build competences
(although Croatian SGA has introduced such a programme right after the response was
provided). No agency, with one exception (Albania), provides online seminars or
teleconference distant training.
