Most state licensing boards require licensed engineers and surveyors to meet a continuing professional competency (CPC) requirement to renew their licenses. You can conveniently track and report your CPC requirements for free through your MyNCEES account.
The NCEES CPC Standard requires a licensee to obtain the equivalent of 15 professional development hours (PDHs) per calendar year (January 1–December 31) with no carryover allowed. A minimum of 1 PDH of the 15 PDHs shall be earned by successfully completing a course or activity that has a content area focusing on engineering or surveying ethics.
CPC Tracking allows you to conveniently track and report your CPC requirements through your MyNCEES account.
No. CPC Tracking is a free service provided by NCEES.
Any engineer or surveyor with a MyNCEES account can use the CPC Tracking service.
CPC Tracking provides a side-by-side comparison of a state’s requirements and your completed CPC courses.
To set up CPC Tracking, you must first create a MyNCEES account. Next, you must identify the state licensing boards for which you’d like to track and report your CPC requirements. Then you select a tracking method and enter renewal information for each selected board.
Some state boards allow you to track your CPC requirement using their state requirement or the NCEES Continuing Professional Competency (CPC) Standard. CPC tracking can be simplified by using the NCEES CPC Standard when available.
The NCEES CPC Standard requires licensees to acquire 15 PDHs in each calendar year, of which at least one must be earned in an area that focuses on professional engineering or surveying ethics or improving a licensee’s methods of business practice or operations.
Renewal periods are determined by each state licensing board. Questions related to your renewal period should be directed to the appropriate state board.
Each time you complete a CPC course
All uploaded documents will become a part of the course and will be transmitted to a state licensing board. Upload only the documentation necessary to provide proof of completing the course. Avoid uploading large files unless required by the state licensing board.
