In case we haven't met...
I am your instructor and guide, Dan Provolt. I'm a Professional Land Surveyor and business owner with 40 years of experience. Licensed for 30 years.
I haven't just been behind a desk. I've been out there solving real boundary disputes, testifying in court as an expert witness, and running two surveying businesses for 23 years. My entire workload comes from referrals. That kind of trust isn't built overnight. It's earned through thousands of field hours, hundreds of complex projects, and decades of getting it right when it matters most.
I created this platform because of my own experiences of taking CE courses over many years, sitting in a classroom, constantly checking the minute hand on my watch, walking out after 3 long days of conference. Was I a better surveyor after that, or just glad to be free again?
I discovered a better way, embedded narratives in story format.
These aren't lectures, they're experiences.
You'll step into the boots of surveyors facing real dilemmas: a disputed fence line where thousands of dollars hang in the balance, a courtroom cross-examination that tests everything you know about boundary law, a construction site where your measurements directly impact worker safety. Each scenario is built based on actual cases, real consequences, and the kind of professional judgment calls that define our careers.
These are one hour courses, containing four separate fifteen minute audio lessons. Fifteen minutes is intentional. It's long enough to dive deep into a concept, short enough to finish on your way to work or the job site. And because each lesson is a complete story with a beginning, middle, and resolution, you'll actually remember what you learned.
What makes this different?
We've taken the dry material, Black's Law Dictionary definitions, Brown's Boundary Control principles, ethics codes, forensic procedures, and transformed them into narratives that stick. You're not memorizing abstract concepts. You're living through the moments when those concepts matter most: when a client is demanding answers, when an attorney is questioning your methods, when your professional reputation is on the line.
Every course includes embedded assessments that feel like natural decision points in the story. You'll make choices, see immediate consequences, and understand why the right answer matters, not just for passing a quiz, but for protecting yourself, your clients, and the profession.
