Students normally enroll in geomatics engineering at the University of Calgary or the University of New Brunswick. Some begin by enrolling in a geomatics technology program and then transfer to a geomatics engineering program at a university. Others study GIS or land information systems at Olds College or the University of Lethbridge and then transfer to a geomatics engineering program.
Following university graduation, a student must receive a certificate of completion from the Canadian Board of Examiners for Professional Surveyors that shows appropriate courses have been completed to enable a student to begin articling under an Alberta Land Surveyor.
The articling period is a minimum of two years during which the articling student gains field and office experience. During the articling period, the student must successfully complete several professional examinations and reports.
The final phase is a qualifying oral examination based upon general survey practice and professional ethics. You are then entitled to be registered as an Alberta Land Surveyor.
