Continuing Professional Competency (CPC) Requirements
Listed below is a guide for the continuing educational requirements established by the:

Alabama Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors

	Continuing Education Requirements
CPC Hrs. Req'd	15 PDH annually (1 PDH unit = 1 CPC unit)
Date of Renewal	December 31 (end of each year)
Board Approved Course Providers?	The Alabama board does not pre-approve course providers or specific courses. Each engineer must determine whether a course satisfies their state board’s CPC requirements.
Approved Subject Matter	Technical, ethical, or managerial content relevant to a licensee's particular area of engineering practice.
Are Online Courses Allowed?	Internet courses are specifically listed as an approved activity. There is no limit on the number of hours that can be earned through online continuing education.
Allowed PDH Carryover	15 PDH (max) may be carried forward into the next renewal period.
Other Specific Requirements:	Should the board perform a routine CPC audit: To be accepted, the licensee must demonstrate high quality education from the course, if requested, and the course must require the participant to show evidence of achievement and completion. Online-PDH meets this requirement by providing an online quiz that is graded automatically, along with a certificate of completion that can be accessed and downloaded immediately after successful completion of a course. The Board specifically states that equipment demonstrations will not be accepted for PDH credit. PDH completion records must be maintained for a minimum of 4 years. Online-PDH helps you meet this requirement by providing you with the ability to instantly access and print a certificate upon successful completion of a course. Additionally, your certificates of completion are securely maintained by Online-PDH for a minimum of ten years and can be accessed online through your login account.
