All of
our online courses comply with the Continuing Professional Competency
Guidelines published by National Council of Examiners for Engineering
and Surveying ()
and, therefore, should be
acceptable to all the state boards requiring mandatory continuing
education. In order for your state board to accept your PDH's,
you need to choose courses that will maintain, improve, or expand
the skills and knowledge related to your field of practice.
PDH Center (PDHonline.org/PDHcenter.com) is a Board Approved or Recognized
Sponsor/Provider of continuing education activities for Professional
Engineers in the following states:

In
addition, we are a Board Approved or Recognized Sponsor/Provider of continuing education
activities for Professional Land Surveyors in the following states:
To our knowledge,
Louisiana, North Carolina, New York and Florida are the only
four states that currently pre-approve courses or providers (vendors)
in both engineering and surveying fields. Although Kentucky
has separate pre-approval programs for land surveyors' continuing education
activities, they usually accept courses pre-approved by another jurisdiction.
In other states that have mandatory Continuing Professional Competency
(CPC) requirements, it is generally the responsibility of the engineers
and surveyors to select courses that meet the state guidelines. The typical
state guidelines define a qualified course as one 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".
Designation as an Approved Sponsor/Provider indicates recognition
by the Board of our online courses as meeting the required standards.
Professional engineers and land surveyors in Florida and New York as well
as professional land surveyors in Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, Kentucky
and New Jersey are required to take continuing education courses from
Approved Providers. In Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina, engineers
and surveyors are not required to take courses from Approved Sponsors,
but if they do, they are assured that their PDH credits will be accepted
by the Board.
As
an approved continuing education provider, PDH Center (PDHcenter.com/PDHonline.org)
maintains records of all online PDH activities for at least seven (7)
years. Our records include the name of the attendee who satisfactorily
completed the course, type of activity claimed, date of activity, instructor's
name, sponsoring organization, and the PDH credits earned. Copies of these
records may be requested by sending emails to
for audit verification purposes.
As an approved
continuing education provider, PDH
Center (PDHcenter.com/PDHonline.org)
submits monthly or quarterly reports, including the names and license
numbers of North Carolina PE & PLS, Florida PE & PLS, Tennessee
PLS and Texas PLS completing the PDHonline courses during that month or quarter and
the PDH credits earned, to
the respective
board of registration
for professional engineers
and surveyors.
Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas are the only four states that require
reporting from the approved continuing education providers.
Note:
Most
states requiring CPC (CPD or PDH) do not pre-approve courses or providers (vendors),
and leave the choice to the licensees.
