Each CPSS must pass a comprehensive exam covering soil chemistry; soil mineralogy; soil fertility; soil physics; soil genesis, morphology, classification; soil biology, biochemistry; land use management; field and laboratory techniques and ethics. A CPSS pledges to only do what is in the best interests of their clients.

Applicants for certification must have at least a BS degree in the area of Soils with five or more years of experience and five supporting references and sign the code of ethics. Oram received a BS degree from Wilkes University, in Earth and Environmental Sciences and a MS degree from The Pennsylvania State University, in Environmental Pollution Control.
