Experience
KRS 322.045 (PDF - 7KB) requires that experience be progressive and under the direct supervision of a licensed and practicing land surveyor. Progressive means experience has been in several advancing areas. An example would be progression from rodman or instrument operator to party chief or technician. Several years in the same position performing the same functions is not considered progressive experience. Experience in the various elements of boundary surveying (deed and records research, computations, drafting, and field work) and areas such as deed plotting, field note reduction, calculations for traverse closure, and platting of the survey should be reflected in the applicant's work descriptions.
