Special Instructions: Work processes completed in a state or federally recognized apprenticeship program will be accepted upon presentation of proper documentation to the appropriate service school.
A total of 576 hours of related instruction is required in order to complete this program. Related instruction credit may be awarded individuals registered in the trade of Surveyor (Engineering) taken from an accredited institution, providing the courses are similar to the courses taken for a Surveyor (Engineering) program in a community college/vocational school.
