to 4 years of experience. (b) An examination on the principles and practices of land surveying. 2. An applicant for licensure as a professional land surveyor must pass the examination

offers a program in land surveying approved by the Board to administer the examination

on the fundamentals of land surveying to persons who are not applicants for licensure
