Certification pathway

NULCA certification pathway

The four-module pathway to the NULCA credential — module 01 through module 04, paired with the upcoming live training schedule, and a register-for-cohort CTA at the close. The page is the on-ramp from finishing module 04 to getting onto a cohort: take the practice assessment to gauge where you stand today, walk the four modules in order, then pull a live session that fits your calendar and register through SureTrace so a senior locator pairs with you through the exam-context vocabulary each module builds on.

The pathway

Four modules, in order

The four required modules — 811, equipment selection, locating theory, signal application. Each deepens a Foundations lesson and pairs with a practice exam on the same domain. Safety and the closeout vocabulary live on the deliverable side in module 05 and the Advanced track.

Upcoming live sessions

Pair the pathway with a live cohort

The soonest three live training sessions — in-person workshops and instructor-led virtual cohorts running on a fixed calendar. Each session pairs the hands-on field framing with the same cohort-paced run-through that drives the modules on this page.

From the field

Why the pathway maps to a working credential

A pull quote from a recent SureTrace engagement — the same kind of pre-field intelligence + multi-method sweep + carried-forward record every cohort-paced run on this pathway is built around.
