Our fall session runs August 20th through January 10th for users targeting the February 2025 exam.

The following program was designed to provide added structure to the core CFedS training by dividing it into two-week portions. Additional reading assignments and review recommendations are included to help you further master the material. Please plan on committing five to ten hours of study time per week to complete everything and stay on schedule.

Bi-weekly online meetings will address material covered within the previous two weeks. In addition to answering questions, we’ll identify and discuss the areas that cause the most trouble on exam day.

The core seven CFedS training courses include:

Course 1: History, Records & Administrative Systems
Course 2: Boundary Law & Title Examination
Course 3: Survey Evidence Analysis
Course 4: Restoration of Lost Corners
Course 5: Introduction to Water Boundaries
Course 6: Subdivision of Sections
Course 7: Federal Boundary Standards & Business Practices
