Continuing education and professional development requirements differ between countries, states, license types and professional bodies. This page gives general information only. Always confirm the current rules with your own registration board or professional association.
Continuing education requirements vary by jurisdiction and by license type. Calcs.com does not pre-approve courses with any specific licensing board. You are responsible for confirming whether a given webinar or learning activity will be accepted by your registration board.
Engineers in the United States
In the United States, continuing education requirements for Professional Engineer (P.E.) license renewal vary from state to state. We strongly recommend that individuals regularly check the state registration board(s) for their specific continuing education requirements that affect P.E. licensure and the ability to renew licensure.
Where accepted, Calcs.com webinars and training materials may contribute toward Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or equivalent qualifying activities, depending on your state’s rules.
Engineers in Australia
In Australia, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements for engineers vary depending on:
- The state or territory where you are registered (for example, Queensland’s RPEQ scheme or Victoria’s registration scheme), and
- Your professional body membership (for example, Engineers Australia’s Chartered status).
Calcs.com webinars, training videos, and expert interviews can typically be logged as informal or structured CPD activities, subject to the rules of your registration body or professional association. We recommend reviewing the CPD policy of your specific board or association to confirm how Calcs.com learning activities should be recorded.
Architects in the United States
In the United States, continuing education requirements for architects also vary by state licensing board, and many states align their requirements with the AIA Continuing Education System (AIA/CES) or NCARB guidelines. Requirements typically include a minimum number of Learning Units (LUs), often with a portion dedicated to Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) topics.
Calcs.com webinars on structural design topics may be relevant to HSW-related learning. As with engineers, we recommend that architects regularly check their state board’s requirements and confirm whether self-reported structural design webinars are accepted toward their continuing education obligations.
