New Fast Track Format for 2019

We’re excited to unveil LearnCST’s new “Fast Track” format for fall 2019. Those that join our quarterly class can now set a target exam date; at the end of each session, we’ll aid students that are ready in arranging their official examination.

From a design perspective, we’ve cut out much of the clutter and made progression through the individual work elements more efficient. We’ve paid special attention to the layout of quizzes. In the coming weeks, we’ll add additional reference material within the quizzes themselves; in the event you encounter problem areas or questions, you won’t have to look far for hints and other information regarding the correct answer.

I’m proud to say that the CST program is certifying more technicians than ever before. From a development perspective, additional career placement tools, video content and other enhancements are in the works that we’re certain you’ll appreciate.

Drop us a line if you have any comments, concerns or suggestions RE our new format!

Thanks again for your interest in the CST program.

A Welcome Note from our Lead Instructor

If you’re looking to certify your skills and abilities, you’ve come to the right place!

The purpose of this site is to assist you in preparing for the National Society of Surveyor’s Certified Survey Technician (NSPS CST) exam, levels I, II & III, with specific emphasis on honing your critical thinking skills and pursuing further independent study.

LearnCST was built to guide you from exam prep all the way to certification.

There is a literal sea of land surveying focused learning material out there. LearnCST isolates the exact work elements the examinations are built around—working in concert with the CST board, we’ve developed learning modules complete with hundreds of questions similar to those you’ll find on the exams. Our learning modules and lessons end with quizzes that will allow you to gauge your survey knowledge and test your aptitude.

We’ve put together a bundle of important information that explains the program.

Take a moment to register and you’ll receive the following outlines for no charge:

  • Our program prospectus, explaining our resources
  • Key exam rules, tips, dates, policy and procedure
  • Recommended reading and exam prep checklist
  • Immediate access to sample quizzes, videos and more

If you’d prefer access to our full library and resource bank, you can join the fast track anytime.

While you can proceed at any pace, our “Fast Track” program follows a quarterly course schedule to encourage progress. We offer regular instructor access via “office hours”, student chat boards and weekly class hangouts in the event you need assistance with a topic. All fast track students receive assistance in arranging their CST examination when ready. Keep in mind that certification fees are additional, paid directly to NSPS—all of this is covered in your course prospectus.
