Get Ready to Slay Continuing Education

Problem 1: Low Participation in Continuing Education Programs

Problem: Many land surveyors, especially in rural or remote areas, find it difficult to participate in continuing education due to a lack of accessible, high-quality CE courses in their region.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N offers 100% online courses, webinars, and workshops that allow surveyors to engage in professional development without the need to travel. This convenience ensures that participation is not limited by geographic location, increasing the turnout and reach of CE programs across the nation.

Problem 2: Outdated or Irrelevant Course Content

Problem: Surveyors often find that the courses available are outdated, focusing on old technologies or regulations, making the material less valuable to their current work.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N’s curriculum is constantly updated by industry experts to reflect the latest trends, technologies, and legal requirements in land surveying. This ensures that participants are learning up-to-date, practical knowledge that can be applied immediately in their jobs, driving engagement and satisfaction with the learning experience.

Problem 3: Lack of Flexibility in Learning Formats

Problem: Traditional in-person CE programs can be rigid, offering limited options for when and how courses are attended, which doesn't fit the busy schedules of many professionals.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N provides flexible on-demand courses and live webinars that surveyors can access at their convenience. Whether they prefer to learn in the evenings or on weekends, the platform offers a solution for professionals who need more control over their learning schedule, thereby increasing turnout and making education more accessible.

Problem 4: Inadequate Networking Opportunities During CE

Problem: In many CE programs, surveyors miss out on the opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences, and build relationships that can benefit their careers.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N integrates community-based learning into its platform, allowing participants to engage with fellow surveyors globally through discussion forums, group webinars, and collaborative projects. This networking element not only enhances learning but also builds professional relationships, fostering a sense of community within the industry.

Problem 5: Low Awareness of Available CE Options

Problem: Many surveyors aren’t aware of the continuing education requirements in their state or the available CE opportunities, leading to non-compliance and missed professional development.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N offers a state-specific hub that outlines the exact CE requirements for each state, along with recommended courses to fulfill those obligations. By providing tailored information and reminders, L.E.A.R.N ensures surveyors stay compliant and fully informed about their educational needs.

Problem 6: Difficulty in Finding Specialized CE Courses

Problem: Surveyors often need specialized training in niche areas like GIS, drone surveying, or environmental regulations, but these courses can be hard to find in traditional CE platforms.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N offers a broad catalog of specialized courses, including the latest innovations in surveying technology, laws, and environmental sustainability. By offering specialized tracks, L.E.A.R.N attracts a diverse audience and provides solutions for the evolving needs of surveyors, ensuring relevance and engagement.

Problem 7: Cost Barriers to High-Quality CE

Problem: High costs for continuing education can deter surveyors, especially those working independently or in small firms, from participating in the necessary professional development.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N provides affordable and sometimes free courses through partnerships with professional organizations and industry sponsors. It also offers bulk purchasing options for companies that need to provide CE to their employees, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to professional growth.

Problem 8: Difficulty in Tracking CE Credits and Compliance

Problem: Keeping track of continuing education hours and ensuring compliance with state regulations can be confusing and overwhelming for surveyors.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N features a digital dashboard where surveyors can track their completed CE hours, view upcoming courses, and receive notifications about deadlines for license renewal. This simplifies the process, making it easy for professionals to stay compliant without the administrative hassle.

Problem 9: Limited Interaction with Instructors or Industry Experts

Problem: Many continuing education platforms offer little to no interaction between students and instructors, which limits the depth of understanding and practical application.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N emphasizes instructor engagement, offering live Q&A sessions, discussion forums, and direct messaging for personalized support. This level of interaction helps surveyors clarify complex topics and get the expert guidance they need, enhancing the overall learning experience.

Problem 10: Lack of Incentives for Completing CE

Problem: Some surveyors may feel that continuing education is just a mandatory box to check, rather than a meaningful opportunity for growth, leading to disengagement.

Solution with L.E.A.R.N:
L.E.A.R.N offers digital badges and certifications upon course completion, which can be shared on professional networks like LinkedIn. Additionally, participants receive exclusive access to industry events, job opportunities, and recognition within the Land Surveyors United community, making CE a more rewarding and motivating experience.

Through these tailored solutions, L.E.A.R.N significantly improves the accessibility, relevance, and engagement of continuing education for land surveyors, ensuring that more professionals can meet their CE requirements while advancing their skills and careers.
