COURSES FOR THE ASBOG^® AND CALIFORNIA SUPPLEMENTAL EXAMS

COURSE DESCRIPTION

PREPARATORY COURSES for the ASBOG^® EXAMS:
The National (ASBOG^®) Geology Licensing Exam is the only exam currently being administered in the states that have geology licensing by examination. Different states call their licensed geologists different names. These are defined as follows: LG is a Licensed Geologist, RG is a Registered Geologist, PG is a Professional Geologist. All of these designations imply geology licensing by grandfathering or by examination for all of the 29 states with registration by examination. These designations are not to be confused with the designations of FG for the Fundamentals of Geology exam and PG for the Practice of Geology exam which is how the two portions of the ASBOG^® exam are described.

- The Review Course for the National (ASBOG^®) Geology Licensing Exam covers the topics that are most strongly emphasized on the exam, including structural geology, map interpretation, hydrogeology, water quality, engineering geology, geomorphology, ethics, and field investigations. The course addresses both the FG and PG portions of the exam. We will review topics designed to focus your studying and provide tips that save time and boost your efficiency. You'll also be guided in strategies for exam taking and preparation, including references.

Included in the course price are the Geology Study Manual for the National (ASBOG^®) Geology Licensing Exams and the Practice Quizzes book. Flash cards are not included in the course price but can be ordered. The REG REVIEW course was first modified for the March, 2000 exam to incorporate California's changeover to the ASBOG^® exam format.

CALIFORNIA SUPPLEMENTAL EXAMS:
California Supplemental exam courses can be taken either in conjunction with the ASBOG^® review course or separately. This course is geared specifically to issues that are not covered on the ASBOG^® exams but are important in the State of California for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. In this course we cover general California geology specific to the safety of the public, geologic hazards with an emphasis on seismic hazards, and California specific regulations. All CA Supplemental courses will be held twice a year.

CALIFORNIA HYDROGEOLOGY (CHG) and ENGINEERING GEOLOGY (CEG) CERTIFICATION EXAMS:
In the Hydrogeology course we cover general hydrogeology, water quality, and contaminant hydro. In the Engineering Geology course we cover seismicity, engineered structures, geologic hazards, hydrogeology and regulations. All CEG-CHG courses will be held annually in June. Please go to the CEG/CHG Course page.

NOW AVAILABLE: Continuing Education Units (CEU), 0.9 for the Review Course for the ASBOG^® Exam and 1.0 for the Review Course for the ASBOG^® and California Supplemental Exam combined.
