State Requirements

Texas

Based on your state requirements, on-demand courses are accepted in your state. Our courses are structured to meet NCEES Continuing Professional Competency (CPC) guidelines — the nationally recognized standard for continuing education. Each course includes a final graded assessment and completion certificate, giving you the documentation you need for your state's renewal audit. Engineers are responsible for confirming their specific board requirements.

PDH Hours Required: Engineers in Texas need to complete 15 PDHs every year, a requirement that ensures they keep up with new technologies and standards in their field.
Renewal Dates: Licenses need renewal on one of four dates throughout the year - March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31 - based on the original licensure date. This system keeps professional standards up to date throughout the year.
PDH Carryover: If engineers earn more than the yearly requirement, they can move up to 14 extra PDHs to the next year. This system respects the effort put into professional development and allows for a balanced learning workload.
Board Pre-Approval: The Texas Board doesn't pre-approve courses or providers. Engineers have the responsibility to choose courses that meet Board standards and enhance their professional ability.
Approved Content: Courses should focus on material that improves professional skills. Texas engineers must include at least 1 PDH in ethics. Interestingly, the state allows for 5 PDHs from self-study, promoting continuous, self-initiated learning.
Approved Activities: Texas recognizes the value of online learning, with no maximum on the PDHs that can be earned this way. This flexibility supports engineers who prefer digital study options due to convenience or current learning trends.
Notes: Keeping a record of PDHs is crucial, as the state requires tracking for 3 years. Engineers benefit from our service that offers immediate certificate access after a course and safe storage of completion certificates for a minimum of ten years, available anytime online through their accounts.
