Previously, The Arkansas Board discontinued pre-approval of continuing education providers.  It is now solely the responsibility of the engineer to identify and complete activities offered by continuing education providers which meet the Board's requirements.

Although the Board no longer pre-approves continuing education providers, PDHengineer.com was listed as an approved provider of continuing education for engineers by the Arkansas Board from 2003 until the pre-approval program was ended in 2006.

Arkansas professional engineers have been using PDHengineer.com since 2003 to earn high quality continuing education.  Over the years, thousands of engineers have completed online courses that have been accepted by the licensing boards around the country.  In fact, we've never had one of our courses rejected by ANY state engineering board.  We're confident enough to offer an iron-clad money back guarantee.  If any PDHengineer.com online course is rejected by your state engineering board for any reason, you get your money back.  Period.

Arkansas PEs are required to earn 15 PDH annually in courses that have a "clear purpose and objective which will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge relevant to the licensee's field of practice  

In our online course catalog, you will find courses that meet the board's requirement covering all major areas of engineering practice.  We offer a wide variety of subjects including today's hottest engineering topics.
