Welcome Illinois Professional Engineers
Illinois professional engineer licenses renew November 30 of odd numbered years.  Structural engineers renew November 30 of even numbered years.  

Over the years, thousands of engineers from around the country have relied on PDHengineer.com for affordable high quality continuing education that meets the requirements of their state licensing boards.

Online courses from PDHengineer have been accepted by the Illinois board.  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.

PDHengineer online courses will be accepted by your state board or you get a full refund of the purchase price.

Illinois PEs are required to earn 30 PDH biennially.  And Professional Engineers can earn all of the required PDH using online courses such as those on PDHengineer.com.  While the state board does not mandate or pre-approve specific courses or providers, they do require that courses "contribute to the advancement, extension or enhancement of the professional skills and/or scientific knowledge of the licensee in the practice of professional engineering." 

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.

Additionally, PDHengineer.com provides a free online ethics course, Professional Ethics for Engineers, that can serve as part of your PDH requirement.  We provide this course free to you as a way to introduce you to the services we offer.  There's no obligation to buy other courses.
