Our course offerings include:
- AOP: All of our online courses, whether purchased individually or as a package, are approved for Florida Board of Professional Engineer’s Area of Practice (AOP) Credit.
- Advanced: Two of our courses are approved as FBC “Advanced” Courses and contain the description of “Advanced” in the course title. Both of these courses will meet your FBC “Advanced” course requirements.
- Ethics: Our “Ethics in Professional Engineering (1-Hour)” online course has been approved by the FBPE to meet the Ethics CE requirement.
- L&R: NONE of our courses are approved for Florida Board of Professional Engineer’s Laws & Rules (L&R)
Course Completion:
Upon successful completion of each online CE course, you will be able to print a hard copy completion certificate to keep for your records. FBPE no longer requires electronic reporting of CE hours to the DBPR. Licensees must retain certificates for random audits.
Course Expiry: You will have access to the online courses for 2 years giving you plenty of time to complete them at your own pace, and your completion certificates will always be available to you.
System Requirements: Our courses are designed to run on most computers and mobile devices. If you have trouble with a course, our technical support team is ready and willing to assist. To view system requirements, Click Here!
