I have over twenty years of surveying experience and two undergraduate degrees and two masters degrees. when I relaunched my surveying careers tow years ago, I did not know where to start from but I thank my boss and the surveyors association for pointing me to the CST. I passed CST and now ready for the fundamentals surveying and the State licensing exam. The materials removed the fog i had about technological advancement.
As old school, I recommend the CST to anyone serious about a career in surveying and cannot afford a college education.
CST is fine as a measuring stick, probably for those who aren't on a path to get licensed.?ÿ I'd like to see that someone took all three tests, not just #2 or #3.
That said, it's not a program, it's a set of tests.?ÿ There aren't specific CST classes, just self-study and/or classes you take on your own.

Thank you all for your replies! Good mix - employees and principles experiences. I did not realize until now that CST wasn't a program, but a set of tests. Thanks for straightening me out. I had taken some home study courses through the Massachusetts School of Survey back in the late 90s, which where extremely valuable. Curious if there is anything still active like this. Thanks again, guys.
