Written
For The Professional Surveyor:
STATE
APPROVAL: Most State Boards do NOT pre-approve or require pre-approval of
courses, some of those states include: AL, AR, GA, IA, IL, KS, LA, MN, MS,
NC, NE, NM, NV, OH, OK, OR, SC, WA and WV. Their general requirement
is that the surveyor enlist a course that is relevant, educational and furthers
the surveyor's knowledge of the profession, a test or method of checking the information
learned, and an official certificate signed by a directing authority. Our courses
all qualify as such and are pre-approved in many states,
including KY, MO and TN.
Professional
Land Surveyor Steve Tufte has written the courses/tests, Steve has surveyed in
many parts of the country for over 20 years and is licensed in several states.
