Utah
Info
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
- Professional Engineers in Utah are required to complete 30 PDHs (Professional Development Hours) every two years, ensuring they stay current with industry standards and practices.
- Renewal Dates
- The deadline for license renewal is March 31 of odd-numbered years, prompting engineers to keep a consistent focus on their professional development.
- PDH Carryover
- Engineers can carry forward up to 15 PDHs into the subsequent renewal period, accommodating the ebb and flow of learning opportunities from year to year.
- Board Pre-Approval
- The Board does not pre-approve courses or providers, leaving it to engineers to determine if activities meet requirements.
- Approved Content
- Courses must have clear, defined objectives that relate directly to the practice of engineering, ensuring that the continuing education is relevant and applicable to professionals within the industry.
- Approved Activities
- The state permits online courses, requiring a test at the end to verify the assimilation of material. This policy supports flexible learning while maintaining a standard of competence.
- Notes
- Recordkeeping is essential, with a four-year requirement for retaining PDH documentation. Services like ours are valuable for their role in easing this administrative responsibility, offering secure document storage and easy access.
