PA Continuing Education Requirements
Professional engineers, land surveyors, and geologists in Pennsylvania are now required to obtain 24 hours of continuing education to renew their licenses in 2011. The State passed Act 25 in early May 2010, which formalizes the continuing education requirement for licensure. This replaces the previous act, for which the State Board of Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists had developed draft regulations.
In spite of an email from the state Board of Registration that indicated otherwise, continuing education will indeed cover the current licensure period (extending back to October 1, 2009). The information contained in that email was based on the previous act; the new act does not provide that level of discretion to the Board. The Board has issued a new Special Notice
Any eligible coursework taken since October 1 can be counted toward the current two-year period. Additionally, there will be a six-month grace period (until April 2012) for license holders to obtain the required 24 professional development hours (pdh's) if they have not already begun to do so or will not be able to acquire the full amount by the renewal date (October 2011).
