Becoming a licensed land surveyor in Connecticut
With a four-year surveying degree, applicants need three years of experience, half of it in land surveying divided about equally between office and field.
Getting licensed in Connecticut
Applicants without a degree need nine years of experience, including three years in a supervisory role and at least three years of land surveying.
Licensure requires the NCEES Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) and Principles and Practice of Surveying (PS) exams plus a two-hour Connecticut exam.
The board must approve a candidate before registering for the exams with NCEES, and the two-hour Connecticut exam is given only in April and October.
A candidate who has passed the NCEES Fundamentals of Surveying exam can apply for a Land Surveyor-in-Training license.
Under Public Act 26-100, land surveyor licenses renew every two years instead of annually and expire on January 31 of odd-numbered years.
