Programme overview
Introduction:
Land administration and cadastre, covering land registration, parcel fabric and LADM, is a 5-day course for registry, municipal, cadastral survey and GIS staff that ends with a Registry Process Improvement Plan and LADM-Based Data Model for a case registry. Organisations lose revenue and trust when parcels are mapped in one system, rights are recorded in another, boundaries overlap and paper files are never reconciled. Nominees already process registrations, maintain parcel maps or run land databases, and work through case studies on registry records, survey plans and valuation rolls. CoreConcept Training Center delivers this land administration and cadastre course.
Course Objectives:
- Map the tenure, value, use and development functions of land administration onto the units, records and services of a registry or municipality
- Classify tenure types and the rights, restrictions and responsibilities attached to parcels so that each can be recorded and retrieved
- Compare deed and title registration systems and fiscal, legal and multipurpose cadastres to judge the evidence a register entry provides
- Structure parcel, party and rights data with the ISO 19152 LADM packages and maintain a consistent parcel fabric
- Run registration, subdivision and transfer workflows with data quality checks, e-lodgement steps and valuation roll links
- Prepare a registry process improvement plan and LADM-based data model that reduce boundary conflicts, double registration and backlog
Target Audience:
- Registry staff responsible for examining, entering and certifying ownership, mortgage and transfer records
- Municipal land staff responsible for parcel records, subdivision approvals and land use information
- Cadastral survey staff responsible for boundary surveys, survey plans and parcel identifiers
- GIS and land information staff responsible for parcel databases, map services and data exchange
- Valuation and land revenue staff responsible for property rolls and land tax records

- Land Dispute Prevention
Why Attend This Course:
- Deliver a Registry Process Improvement Plan and LADM-Based Data Model to the registry director and the land information manager for approval
- Decide which registration steps, boundary rules and data checks a register entry needs before it is certified
- Avoid double registration, overlapping parcels and stalled transfer files that lead to disputes and lost land revenue
- Share workflow maps, data quality checklists and LADM class diagrams with registry, survey and GIS colleagues
Conclusion:
Back at work, the participant presents the Registry Process Improvement Plan and LADM-Based Data Model to the registry director, the cadastral survey lead and the land information manager. They use it to approve changes to registration steps, set data quality rules for parcel and rights records and specify the database structure for digitisation or system replacement. After the first quarter of use, the unit should review turnaround time, rejected lodgements, boundary conflicts and record corrections against the baseline and adjust the workflow and data model where results fall short.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What should participants know before the land administration and cadastre course?
Participants should already work with registration files, parcel maps or land databases and read a survey plan. No programming skill is expected. Bringing anonymised registry forms, parcel extracts or workflow descriptions from their own unit helps them apply the case work directly.
How does land administration and cadastre differ from a construction surveying or property law course?
It covers how land rights, parcels and values are recorded, linked and maintained in registers and land information systems. Construction surveying focuses on setting out works with instruments, and property law courses focus on contracts, transactions and litigation between parties.
Why does the LADM matter in land administration and cadastre?
The LADM gives registries a shared structure for parties, rights, restrictions, responsibilities and spatial units, so cadastral and registration data fit together. It supports data exchange between agencies, consistent digitisation and clearer links between legal records and parcel geometry.
What do participants take back from the land administration and cadastre course?
Participants take back a Registry Process Improvement Plan and LADM-Based Data Model for a case registry, with a redesigned workflow, data quality rules, a migration plan for legacy records and a class model ready to adapt to their own organisation.
