"We take student input seriously and actively use our rating system and comments sections to improve course material or make other changes," says Annie Creek, Business Development Manager at McKissock. "Customer satisfaction is a hallmark of our business and we appreciate the feedback. We are proud of how many courses rank highly and strive for five stars every time."

These results are purely based on user-generated star ratings, not taking into consideration the number of people who have taken the course or their availability.

To highlight the land surveying profession in an entertaining way, McKissock also recently released a meme-inspired video called "What is a Land Surveyor?". The video takes a humorous look at what people think land surveyors do versus what they actually do on a daily basis.
