Valid Course Work Units: | SEMESTER/QUARTER HOUR CREDIT FOR COLLEGE COURSES. To qualify for this credit, a course must meet regularly and participants tested with a passing grade required. One semester hour is converted to 30 PDHs and one-quarter hour is converted to 20 PDHs. Monitoring courses typically does not require a test, and therefore credit is granted at 1/3 the rate specified in section (5) of Board Rule 20 CSR 2030-11.015. INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES – Active participation and successful completion of seminars, tutorials, workshops, short courses, correspondence courses, televised or videotaped courses or in-house corporate sponsored educational courses are allowed one PDH credit for each contact hour. A correspondence course must require the participant to show evidence of achievement with a final graded test. TEACHING CREDITS for the instructor are twice that of the participants in qualifying courses and seminars for the first time only. PUBLISHED PAPERS, ARTICLES OR BOOKS which include the authoring of papers or articles that appear in nationally circulated technical journals or trade magazines do qualify for PDHs. A "news" article in a technical or professional bulletin is not considered a published paper. Although it is recognized that often many more hours are spent in being an author of a publication, only a maximum of 5 PDHs are allowed. Credit cannot be claimed until that article or paper is actually published. ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL SOCIETIES includes all technical and professional societies, but does not include civic or trade organizations. PDHs are awarded only for those portions of the meeting that meet the requirements of Board Rule 20 CSR 2030-11.015. Licensees serving as an officer and/or actively participating in a committee of the technical professional society or organization shall earn a maximum of 2 PDHs per organization. PDH credits are not earned until the end of each year of service is completed. TYPICAL QUALIFYING ACTIVITIES: - Completing or attending courses, seminars, instruction, in-house programs or training which relates to the licensee's professional practice. - Attending technical or professional society meetings when a topic related to the licensee's professional practice is presented as a principal part of the program. - Teaching a course for the first time. - Attending satellite downlink video courses where attendance is verified and material meets requirements. - Computer software instructional courses which relate to the licensee's technical profession. - Management or ethical courses which relate to the engineering profession. - Correspondence courses on topics related to licensee's professional practice where lessons are prepared, returned for correction and/or grading and testing at the end of the course is required. TYPICAL NON-QUALIFYING ACTIVITIES: - Regular employment - Real Estate licensing courses - Personal, estate or financial planning - Self study - Non-technical computer software courses - Personal self improvement - Service club meetings or activities - Equipment demonstrations or trade show displays - Topics not relevant to licensee's profession - Enrollment without attendance at courses, seminars, etc. - Repetitive attendance or teaching of the same course - Attending committee meetings or general business meetings of any organization - Conversational language courses for personal use - Tours of buildings, structures, schools, museums and such unless there is a clear objective to maintain and strengthen competency in technical field |

Examples of records required include, but are not limited to: 1. A log showing the type of activity claimed, sponsoring organization, location, duration, instructor's or speaker's name, and PDH credits earned. If audited, submission of specific information on each activity is required. Simply stating "attending education activities at ABC Company" is not acceptable. (See Example.) 2. Attendance verification records in the form of completion certificates or other documents supporting evidence of attendance. All activities should have verification and the licensee must maintain sufficient verification for each credit claimed. It would also be very helpful if you could identify your field of practice and your employer. |
