State Approvals

More than thirty U.S. states now require continuing education for engineers to maintain licensure. And, several others have new regulations pending that will take effect soon.

If you're a company with engineers licensed in multiple states, it can be a real task to stay on top of the changing requirements and to track the PDH requirements for each individual engineer. But, as we all know, you cannot take a chance that your engineers will not meet state requirements due to unacceptable courses or a shortage of credits.

That's why it's so important to have continuing education experts like PDHengineer on your team. We can set up programs that not only provide valuable courses, but will also guarantee the courses will be accepted by every state board.

States That Pre-Approve Providers or Courses

Four state boards pre-approve continuing education providers. Additionally, one state now requires pre-approval of every course taken for credit by their engineers. PDHengineer.com is an approved provider in all of these states:

Other States

Other than the four states listed above, none of the state boards have a program in place to pre-approve specific course providers or specific courses.  PDHengineer.com courses have been accepted for PDH credit by all the state boards that don't pre-approve course providers. However, it is ultimately the engineer's responsibility in these states to determine whether an activity meets the guidelines set forth by the state board.

The state boards typically accept a PDH activity that meets the following criteria:

"A course or activity whose purpose and objective are clear with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee’s field of practice." Additionally, many states require that the course consist of "technical, ethical or managerial content relevant to the practice of engineering."

Correspondence, distance learning and internet courses are accepted by all the states that require continuing education activities provided that the course meets the Board's requirements and provided that completion of the course can be independently verified.

The state boards consider completion of a course to be independently verified if you must take and pass a quiz to successfully complete the course, the quiz is graded and the results are kept on file by the course provider for a prescribed length of time (the number of years varies for each state).

PDHengineer maintains an updated list of state PDH requirements for your reference.

Record Keeping

It is generally the engineer's responsibility to maintain records of continuing education activities and to submit the records to the board upon request.

North Carolina and Florida are the only two states that require course providers to submit records to the state board. PDHengineer.com will submit your course completion records periodically to the North Carolina Board and the Florida Board in accordance with their requirements.

As stated above, online courses are accepted for credit if completion of the course can be independently verified, which requires that the course provider maintain a record of successful course completion for a prescribed length of time.

In addition to issuing a certificate of completion when you pass the course quiz, PDHengineer.com maintains a record of your successful course completion at our company's headquarters for 7 years, which meets or exceeds the requirements of all states that mandate continuing education for engineers.

And, with our Corporate Training Accounts, PDHengineer provides enhanced reporting of course completions, quiz attempts and credits earned so that you and the individual PE can easily stay on top of PDH earned and needed.

In-House Courses

Many companies have in-house training that is required of all employees. In many cases, PDHengineer can certify this training for continuing education credit as well. By allowing PDHengineer to administer these courses, not only is tracking easier, but your engineers will earn valuable PDH for this courses.
