  This certification program provides a comprehensive body of knowledge to the surveyor about his or her relationship with the National Flood Insurance Program. Surveyors are a major link in the entire NFIP system. To adequately perform the duties to fulfill NFIP requirements, a surveyor must expand his or her knowledge on this specialized aspect of the profession. Over an intense three day period of instruction, the surveyor is exposed the many flood issues including the National Flood Insurance Program, Code of Federal Regulations Title 44, Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Letters of Map Change (LOMA, LOMR-F, LOMR), no rise certifications and the Elevation Certificate. Following this training, there is a four hour exam administered to assess the surveyor’s floodplain knowledge. This course is supported by the National Society of Professional Surveyors, Wisconsin Department of Environmental Protection and FEMA – and – has been approved by the Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors for 16 hours of CEU’s. WSLS maintains a list of members who have CFS certification on our website and provides updates to the NSPS listing.

  The course will run from 8am - 5pm CST each day. Except for test day, 8 am-Noon on February 19th. Daily lunch is provided in the registration fee.

    A ONE DAY SEMINAR SPONSORED BY: 

  NORTHEAST CHAPTER 

  OF THE WISCONSIN SOCIETY OF LAND SURVEYORS 

  5 The New 2026 ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey Standards - What's Changed

  THURSDAY, APRIL 2^nd, 2026 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. 

  Five years of effort on the part of the Joint ALTA/NSPS Workgroup has resulted in the new 2026 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ NSPS Land Title Surveys adopted by the Boards of Directors of ALTA and NSPS, and effective February 23, 2026. This program will provide the context and an explanation of every change from 2021. Some of the more significant changes include a helpful rewording and simplified definition of relative positional precision, clarified research requirements, an expansion of what are acceptable methods for gathering field data, better context in both the field and office sections related to easements and rights of way, a new optional Table A item calling for inclusion of a table identifying certain significant observations, and a restating of Table A item 15. In addition to covering every change from 2021, this program will provide a detailed explanation of the relationship between title insurance and Land Title Surveys, and an in-depth look at the entire set of standards so both field and office staff can better serve their clients.
