Board Approved Course Providers?
The Michigan 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:
  • Courses must have a clear purpose and objective that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge relevant to the licensee’s area of practice.

All of our Instructors are available via email (which is preferred) or phone.
Are Online Courses Allowed?
Online, web-based courses are specifically listed as an approved activity, with no limit on the amount of hours received through online continuing education.
