What Training and Certification Are Required to Be a Surveyor ?

What training and certification does one need to become a surveyor?

I am also looking for a recommendation on where/how to acquire the training.

Thank you.

It may depend on your State in the US. In NY State there is technically no certification required but it can help.
Check out: The Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors®, Inc. - (SAMS®)
and: NAMSGlobal - Welcome Aboard | NAMSGlobal
and: Yacht Survey Online: David Pascoe, Marine Surveyor
for starters.

Go to work (apprentice) for an accredited surveyor. Take courses (ABYC & etc) & home study. In about 5 years (10,000 hours) you should qualified as a journeyman surveyor.
Join one of the accredation societies (& pass their test), previously listed.
