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.

Absolutely! That's exactly what Survey Life CE is designed for. Plug in headphones or connect to your truck's audio system and listen while you drive to and from work. While eating lunch or waiting at the job site. Just be safe and attentive while operating vehicles.
After completing each 1-hour tracked course (four 15-minute lessons) along with a personal sign-off testifying the passing of the quiz with 75% or higher, you'll instantly receive a downloadable certificate of completion.
If you fail the quiz you'll be able to re-listen to the audio lessons and retake the quiz.
Your License Deserves More Than, "Got my CE out of the way!"
