Training tracks

Training

The SureTrace curriculum is organised into four tracks: an entry-level Foundations sequence, the NULCA certification prep built around the practice assessment, Advanced modules for locating professionals working on multi-utility and dense-corridor scopes, and a dedicated Records & documentation track for the ASCE 38 closeout depth. Each track is a series of standalone lessons — pick the one that matches where you are today.

Tracks

Four tracks, each with its own entry point

New to the trade? Start with Foundations. Prepping for the NULCA credential? The certification pathway is the entry point for that track. Working on multi-utility campuses or dense corridors? Jump to the Advanced track. Authoring or auditing an ASCE 38 closeout package? The Records & documentation track is the entry point for closeout depth.

Foundations
A five-lesson entry sequence for new locators — what 811 covers, the on-site surface pre-sweep, the locating-equipment vocabulary, the EM signal model, and the field-reporting closeout.
NULCA certification prep
A live five-domain prep pathway around the NULCA practice assessment — credential framing, five prep modules, live cohorts, and a practice run that gauges where you stand today.
Advanced modules
The track for working professionals scoping multi-utility campuses, dense corridors (hospital podium decks, utility tunnels, urban rights-of-way), and records at scale.
Records & documentation
Four lessons on closeout depth: ASCE 38 utility quality levels, field-sketch standards, photo and video documentation, and deliverable formats — plus a four-exam practice program graded against the closeout reading.
NULCA certification pathway

The four-module pathway, in one place

A single landing page that aggregates the four required practice modules (modules 01 – 04), the upcoming live training schedule, and a register-for-cohort CTA — so a learner finishing module 04 lands on a clear next step instead of a dead end.

Advanced · Complex infrastructure scenarios

The four scenario briefs, in one place

A single landing page that aggregates the four scenario briefs (multi-bore crossings, congested urban corridors, subsurface conflict resolution, and transit-adjacent rights-of-way), the upcoming live cohort schedule, and a plan the cohort CTA — so a learner finishing the topic scan lands on a clear next step instead of a dead end.

Prerequisite curriculum · Foundational track

The four-module prerequisite curriculum, in one place

A single landing page that aggregates the four prerequisite modules (utility locate basics, electromagnetic theory, GPR fundamentals, and field safety) — the curated starting point for the NULCA pathway — so a learner evaluating where to begin the full sequence lands on a clear entry point instead of a dead end.
