professional continuing-education platform serving licensed
surveyors and related professionals.

SurveyorCE develops and delivers online educational courses,

Provider information is supplied to help licensees evaluate

a representation that every course is preapproved in every
jurisdiction.


Regulatory Systems

How Course Approval May Be Determined

Licensing authorities use different methods to determine whether a
continuing-education activity is acceptable.


01

Preapproved Providers

Some jurisdictions maintain a provider-approval program and require
courses to be offered by recognized providers.


02

Preapproved Courses

Some authorities review and approve individual courses rather than
granting broad approval to the provider.


03

Licensee-Selected Courses

Some boards permit licensees to select courses that satisfy
published standards without advance approval.


04

Audit-Based Review

Some boards evaluate course eligibility after completion when a
licensee’s renewal records are selected for audit.

No single provider approval automatically establishes acceptance in
every jurisdiction. A provider or course recognized by one authority
may be evaluated differently by another.

Jurisdictional Approval Notice


Course Evaluation

Information a Board May Consider

A licensing authority may evaluate the course, provider, format, and
completion documentation.

Course Subject

The subject may need to contribute to professional competency or
satisfy an identified renewal requirement.

Learning Objectives

Objectives help demonstrate the knowledge or professional ability
the course is intended to develop.

Educational Duration

The board may evaluate whether the educational content supports
the number of credit hours claimed.

Delivery Format

Requirements may distinguish live, online, interactive, webinar,
correspondence, and self-study formats.

Assessment

Online or self-study courses may be required to include an
examination or another method of verifying learning.

Completion Records

Certificates and supporting course information document the
student, provider, activity, date, and credit hours.


Supporting Information

Documentation Available to Licensees

Students should retain the certificate of completion together
with sufficient course and provider information to support the
professional-development claim.

If a licensing board requests additional information, contact
SurveyorCE and identify the completed course, student account,
completion date, and documentation requested.


Verification Process

When Course Eligibility Is Uncertain

01

Review the Board’s Rules

Locate the current requirements governing subjects, providers,
delivery methods, assessments, and credit limitations.

02

Gather Course Information

Collect the course description, objectives, hours, provider
information, delivery method, and assessment requirements.

03

Contact the Licensing Authority

Ask whether the proposed course and delivery format satisfy the
requirements governing your license.

04

Retain the Response

Preserve written guidance or approval with your course records in
case the completed activity is later reviewed.


Multistate Licensure

Evaluate Each License Separately

Professionals licensed in multiple jurisdictions should evaluate
course acceptance separately for each license. Requirements may
differ in subject classification, delivery format, credit limits,
renewal periods, and record-retention obligations.

A single certificate may support reporting in more than one
jurisdiction when the course satisfies each board’s requirements.
The licensee should maintain records identifying where and how each
course was reported.

References to approval, eligibility, professional credit, or provider
status should always be interpreted according to the current rules of
the licensing authority responsible for the individual license.
