About this exam
The ASPRS Certified Photogrammetrist Examination assesses professional knowledge of photogrammetry for people working in mapping, surveying, remote sensing, and related geospatial fields. Candidates may use photogrammetric methods in architectural documentation, such as recording building geometry or supporting site analysis, but the credential is not an architecture license or a separate architecture certification. Before applying, review ASPRS’s current certification requirements: eligibility is based on professional qualifications, and the application process may include more than the examination.
Preparation should cover the full photogrammetry workflow, from image geometry and camera systems to mission planning, image acquisition, ground control, and GNSS surveying. Be ready to connect principles with practical decisions—for example, how control quality, sensor calibration, flight design, and image overlap affect measurement and mapping results. The exam’s current format, timing, and application details should be confirmed in official ASPRS materials, since requirements can change. Use a topic-based review plan and practice explaining why a method is appropriate, not just recalling terminology.
How to prepare for the ASPRS Certified Photogrammetrist Examination
- Build a review outline around photogrammetric fundamentals and image geometry, camera systems and sensor calibration, flight planning and image acquisition, and ground control with GNSS surveying.
- Work through representative questions under timed conditions, then review each explanation and note whether errors came from misunderstood geometry, weak control concepts, or misreading the question.
- Use the current ASPRS certification handbook and exam guidance to confirm eligibility, application steps, and examination details; supplement them with reliable photogrammetry references and relevant field experience.
