Harry Jenkins, a land surveyor licensed in four states and a director of surveys for VIKA, a multi-office company in the Mid-Atlantic, says he must show proof of continuing education in half of the states he maintains certification with in order to renew his license. “Continuing education is about keeping up with what is going on and it pertains more to knowledge than it does to skill.†Maryland, his home state, maintains high credentials for the education applicable toward license renewal and includes such things as Outcome Based Education requirements where surveyors must prove they have achieved the level of knowledge objectives of a taken class through testing or some other outcome based method.
