Notes

  1. Beginning with the Fifth Edition of the Florida Building Code, engineers participating in design of engineering works or systems covered by the Code must complete at least one "advanced" Florida Building Code course within 12 months of the effective date of each edition of the code. The course can be counted as a part of the engineer's area of practice requirement.
  2. The Board specifically states that personal self-improvement courses, equipment demonstrations, trade shows, and personal, estate, or financial planning courses will not be accepted for PDH credit. Additionally, "courses the content of which is below the level of knowledge and skill that reflects the responsibility of engineer in charge" will not be accepted.
  3. Continuing education providers must furnish each participant with an individual certificate of attendance. Attendance records must be maintained by continuing education providers and by the licensee for a minimum of 4 years. PDHengineer meets this requirement by providing you with the ability to instantly access and print a certificate upon successful completion of a course or webinar. Additionally, your certificates of completion are securely maintained by PDHengineer for a minimum of ten years and can be accessed online at any time through your login account.
