for General Schedule Positions (p.IV-B-192), but contains minor edits
to conform to web-page requirements.
Use these individual occupational requirements in conjunction with
the "Group Coverage Qualification Standard for
Professional and Scientific Positions."

engineering major must have included at least 6 semester hours of surveying, 3 semester
hours of land law, and 21 additional semester hours in any combination of the following:
surveying, photogrammetry, geodetic surveying, geodesy, route surveying, remote sensing,
cartography, survey astronomy, land information systems, computer-aided mapping, aerial
photo interpretation, and survey analysis and adjustments.
OR
- Combination of education and experience--courses equivalent to a major in land surveying
or civil engineering as described in paragraph A, plus appropriate experience or additional

OR
- The basic requirements for this series may be fully satisfied by a current registration as
a land surveyor in a State, territory, or the District of Columbia obtained by written
examination. Such registration must have been obtained under conditions outlined in the
National Council of Engineering Examiners (NCEE) Unified Model Law for Registration of
Surveyors. Applicants wishing to be considered under this provision must show evidence of
registration based on successful completion of the written examinations. Registrations
granted prior to adoption of a registration law with qualification requirements equivalent
to the NCEE Model Law by the State, territory, or District of Columbia are not acceptable
under this option. To be considered equivalent to the NCEE Model law, registration laws
must include the four options listed within the NCEE Unified Model Law in the section
specifying "General Requirements for Registration" as a Professional Land Surveyor.
