HELP / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our courses and graded exams are set up to be meet the requirements of nearly every state's engineering licensing boards.  For all states which are included in our coverage area (see STATE PDH RULES page), we 100% GUARANTEE that our courses will be accepted by your state licensing board!  If you are audited and your state board does not accept your PDH credits from ENGINEERING-PDH.COM, we will [1] Give you a FULL refund for ALL purchased courses/Unlimited PDH during the year in question, including any applicable tax! [2] Give you Unlimited PDH access for the following year for FREE as well!  But we are confident you won't need our guarantee because to date we have NEVER had one of our PDH courses rejected by any state licensing board in our coverage area!  Do note that some states limits the amount of unmonitored PDH hours which can be obtained for online courses.  Our guarantee for the states with limited online course acceptance applies to the limited number of PDH hours accepted for online courses only.  Also note that some states have restrictions on the types of PDH courses they approve for Engineering PDH.  The course approval guarantee for these select states is limited to the course topics which are approved by the state's engineering boards.  Our STATE PDH RULES page lists a summary of each state's PDH / CPD requirements, as well as details regards which states our PDH credits will apply, and which ones they won't. Currently, we are set up to meet the requirements for all states which require engineering PDH / CPD.

All of our course content & exams are 100% selected & created by Professional Engineers to help ensure that the course content is both engaging & interesting as well as satisfactory to meet the needs of continuing education for Professional Engineers.  Our courses & exams are based on NCEES Continuing Professional Competency Guidelines, which is the guide used by most states for their continuing education requirements.  NCEES' "Model Rules" defines a qualifying Continuing Professional Competency (CPC) course as “Any qualifying course or activity with a clear purpose and objective which will maintain, improve, or expand the skills and knowledge relevant to the licensee’s field of practice.”  Our online courses are intended to either refresh & maintain the P.E.'s fundamental knowledge of previously learned subject matter, or to introduce the P.E. to new information & material to broaden their engineering skill-set.  All courses have on-demand graded exams validating that the P.E. licensee has thoroughly reviewed the course subject matter.  Graded exams are part of what classifies our courses as "meaningful CPC activities",  and this is an important factor that sets graded course learning apart from "self-directed study", which has PDH limitations on its own. 

ENGINEERING-PDH.com does not transmit your CPC/PDH information.  It ultimately is your responsibility to download/print your exam completion certificates as you take them.  But we suggest using the NCEES "CPC Tracking" online tool to have your CPC (PDH) transcript electronically sent to your state licensing board.  If you are registered with NCEES (which we recommend) go to THIS LINK to setup your CPC Tracking.  Once you are setup with NCEES, when you select to "Add Course" in the CPC Tracking there is a drop-down under "Course Provider" where you select "Engineering-PDH.com" with a class type of "online".  The instructor for the course will be listed on your course completion certificates. 

If you do not utilize the NCEES CPC Tracking, for each renewal of your professional engineering license, the requirements vary from state to state, but you will have to keep a log detailing your PDH for the renewal period.  And then if a board audits you, they will ask you to provide copies of the course completion certificates that you put on file. Also, note that some licensing boards can audit your PDH years later.

No, you are able to complete the exams at your own pace, there is no timer. You can re-take an exam as many times as needed to achieve a passing score on the exam.

The only exclusion to this is for Ohio registered engineers. Ohio requires that courses be times and monitored. No other state other than Ohio has this requirement.
