The Survey Training School was established by the British Government in 1944 at Katabi sub-county in the then Mpigi District and currently in Wakiso District for specialized training of technicians to generate National Maps and relevant data and it graduated the first batch of Ugandan Surveyors in the 1950s.

While under the Policy direction of the Ministry of Lands the school admitted the S4 leavers for training at diploma level in 1971. The school remained under the Ministry of Lands until the 1998 restructuring exercise of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) which transferred all training institutions to the Ministry of Education and Sports.

Upon transfer to the Ministry of Education and Sports, the school was closed until 2006 a period that was used by the relevant stakeholders to address the transitional processes including the mainstreaming and the streamlining from one parent Ministry to another. Some of the key processes included the proposal to transfer the name and not the human resource and infrastructure of the school to Kyambogo University among others.
