Just wondering if anyone who's already licensed in other states have gone through the application to take the test in Illinois??
I know I meet the education requirements. I'm licensed in Fl and Indy.
The exam guide..
Candidate Exam Guide_LS.pdf (illinois.gov)
says...
The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation along with The Illinois Professional Land
Surveyor Board hope that you will find the following information useful in preparing to take the Illinois
Jurisdictional Examination that will lead you toward the path of licensure as a Professional Land Surveyor in
the State of Illinois.
Pursuant to Section 1270.20 of the Administrative Rules, passage of the Illinois Land Surveying Jurisdictional
Examination (IJ) is required for licensure. Continental Testing Services, Inc. (CTS) is designated as the
authorized exam administration service for the IJ examination. Apply through www.continentaltestinginc.net in
order to reserve a seat for the IJ exam. Exam specifications are on page three.
REGISTRATION:
Candidates wishing to sit for the IJ exam must directly register with CTS to schedule your exam. Department
pre-approval is no longer required.
So I follow the link provided put in my NCEES Id and it says I need to register with the state. Seems like a circle to me.
IDFPR documents tell me to go to CTS to register.
(Not to mention they give the wrong URL for the website!!!) It's www.contintaltestinginc.com
The Link for the land surveyor FAQ page is broken.
Looks like the State and CTS both use NCEES, which is fine, but when you're already licensed, it seems wrong to have to basically re-prove my responsible charge.
And they wonder why the number of surveyors is dwindling!
Any tips or tricks appreciated.
