Professional Ethics 3 for Land Surveyors
ONLINE COURSE
This course isn't about theoretical ethics—it's about surviving the deadline pressure, incomplete data, and corner-cutting temptations that destroy careers. We explore the real-world collapse points: the research you skipped because "it's just a routine survey," the monument you didn't set because "nobody will check," the calculation you eyeballed under pressure, and the client demand you couldn't say no to. You'll hear what happened when surveyors prioritized speed over thoroughness, and why "I was under pressure" never saves your license at the disciplinary hearing.

Refund Policy & Course Standards - Because your completion certificate is issued immediately upon course completion, all sales are final and refunds cannot be issued. Survey Life CE courses are developed in alignment with NCEES continuing education guidelines and are designed specifically for professional land surveyors. Each course is built from over 40 years of real-world field experience and presented through deep-immersion narrative instruction focused on real surveying situations, legal principles, and professional decision-making.
"You're not just getting your CE credits - you're investing in professional development that will actually make you a better surveyor." – Dan Provolt, PLS
"Judgment is the surveyor's real instrument"
As I assembled these narratives, I revisited my own past mistakes, near misses, small triumphs, and moments of clarity. But more importantly, I recognized how many of the challenges we face, boundary puzzles, legal conflicts, ethical dilemmas, and split-second field decisions, are universal across our profession.
You're not just buying CE credits. You're investing in professional development that will actually make you a better surveyor.

Frequently Asked Questions
NCEES-Compliant. Accepted in 30+ States.
Every Survey Life CE course meets NCEES (National Council of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors) Continuing Professional Competency Guidelines — the standards most state boards follow for CE acceptance. That's not a marketing claim. It's a structural commitment built into how every course is produced.
What that means for you:
- Built by a licensed PLS with 30+ years of licensure and 40 years of field experience
- Audio delivery is explicitly approved under NCEES Model Rules Section 2.3.1(c)
- Time-tracked lessons with dashboard records of your CE hours
- Quiz-verified completion — you pass the assessment, you earn the credit
- Automated certificates issued the moment you complete a course
Where these courses count:
Survey Life CE is accepted in the 30+ states listed below — states that don't require pre-approval but rely on the NCEES standards we already meet. If your state isn't listed, it likely has no CE requirement or uses its own state-specific pre-approval system. Check your state board's current requirements before purchasing — license rules change, and you're the one who has to renew.
