VERMONT CPC FOR ENGINEERS

Continuing Professional Competency (CPC) Requirements
Continuing Education or PDH is known as CPC in Vermont

Here is a summary of the engineering continuing education requirements mandated by the Vermont Board of Professional Engineering.

PDH CPC Vermont PEs

Hours Required

30 hours biennially

Renewal Dates

All licenses expire July 31 of even numbered years.

Board Approval

The Board does not pre-approve providers or specific courses. Each engineer must determine whether an activity meets the Board’s requirements.

Approved Content

Courses shall have content areas aimed at maintaining, improving, or expanding the skill set and knowledge relevant to the licensee’s field and methods of engineering practice. Examples of acceptable coursework include:

  • Technical topics directly related to the practice of engineering
  • Awareness of professional practice ethical concerns and conflicts
  • An understanding of standards of practice or care
  • Engineering management

Approved Activities

The Board has specifically approved the use of online courses, correspondence courses, and pre-recorded media to earn PDH credits.

PDH Carryover

PDH credits must be earned within the three years prior to the biennial license renewal. Therefore, credit earned up to one year before the renewal date can be carried forward, provided those credits have not been counted for the previous renewal cycle. (Credits earned can be counted for only one renewal cycle).

Notes

  1. All PEs are subject to the CPC requirements except for those renewing for the first time.
  2. A Professional Development Hour (PDH) is defined as one contact hour (60 minutes) of instruction or presentation.
  3. Engineers must maintain records of CPC completion for the two prior renewal cycles. NoonPi helps you meet 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 NoonPi for a minimum of ten years and can be accessed online at any time through your login account.
