I have my Virginia land surveyor's license and would like to get my Maryland license. Does anyone know what Maryland requires for admission to the state specific exam? I do not have a college degree and qualified on 12 years as a crew chief to get Va license. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks to our veterans!
I'm pretty sure MD no longer does the Property Line License (which is what I have) so the professional License is what you'll be after. in simplistic terms, the MD PLS is like the VA 3B, so unless you have the necessary background for minor engineering, storm water, etc., I think you'll have a hard time qualifying to sit. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will say so or they'll add to what I said.
Dave is right.
If you don't have the requisite experience in storm drain design, street design, erosion and sediment control, etc. there are a series of classes you can take. It takes a couple of years to get through all of the classes. I'm sure that someone from MD who is much more knowledgeable than I am can give you better direction.
both mr ingram and shepp are correct. ccbc catonsville offers night classes that will qualify you for esd,swm, erosion and sediment, subdivision,etc. md society of surveyors also offers some saturday morning training, but check their schedule, it may be slow moving from course to course
yes, the pls has been grandfathered. LS is the only option now.
get in the application pipeline quick if you don't have a bachelors, too. there has been dialog about making that a requirement for licensure
The storm drain and road design experience requirements are (from memory, don't hold me to it): two years verifiable experience in the design of storm drain, storm water management, grading & sediment and erosion control.
Three semester credits of class work in any of the above counts as six months experience.
The four year degree that Moe alluded to is years away; it's still in the 'working group' stage.
