Survey School
The PLSO Cleveland Chapter began its survey school over thirty years ago. Back then, the course lasted two years and was designed to assist in preparation for the Professional Examination. In subsequent years the school included construction-surveying classes in its cirriculum. When NSPS began the Certified Survey Technician program, the classes changed again to prepare students for the Level One and Two Exams.

The Survey School has changed formats again to meet the needs of current day surveying.
