On March 4, 2019, the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists (the Board) initiated the occupational analysis survey that will be used to update the content of the Certified Hydrogeologist (CHG) license examination. The Board needs a minimum of 200 CHGs to complete the survey in order to have sufficient data to update the examination. The survey will take approximately 45 minutes to complete and must be completed by April 30, 2019.
Please note that you may have participated in another recent occupational analysis survey that the Board conducted for the California Specific Examination (CSE) used for the Professional Geologist license, or the CEG occupational survey used to update the Certified Engineering Geologist license exam. Each licensing examination administered by the Board requires its own occupational analysis. For those of you who completed our previous surveys for the CSE or CEG, we thank you.
For those persons who hold the Certified Hydrogeologist title authority license, we also request that you also take the time to complete this most recent occupational analysis survey for the CHG examination as soon as possible. The link to complete the survey is posted to the home page of our website (www.bpelsg.ca.gov) under “New and Important Updates” with the date of March 4, 2019.
