All Professional Engineers licensed in Florida must report their continuing education to renew their licenses during the upcoming renewal period.
Florida Statutes required this change because the percentage of PEs failing the random CE audit was too high for two consecutive renewal periods.
To renew your PE license for another two years, you must complete 18 hours of continuing education by Feb. 28, 2025. Of the 18 hours, one hour must relate to the Florida laws and rules of Professional Engineers from a Board-approved provider, and one hour must relate to professional ethics. Four hours must relate to area of practice. The remaining 12 hours may be related to any topic pertinent to the practice of engineering.
You must report all 18 hours of your continuing education to FBPE using the free NCEES CPC Tracking system.
We have step-by-step instructions on our website that will show you how to set up a free NCEES account, begin uploading your CE documentation, and transmit your CPC transcript to FBPE. (You do not need to set up an NCEES Record, only a basic account with CPC Tracking.)
As you complete your CE courses and upload your documents to your NCEES CPC Tracking account, do not send your CE transcript to FBPE until after you have completed and uploaded all of your continuing education courses.
Also, do not mail or email your CE documentation directly to FBPE; you must use the NCEES CPC Tracking tool. The only continuing education course that you must report directly to FBPE is the Advanced Building Code course. (Please be aware that the ABC course does not replace your required Florida Laws and Rules course.)
FBPE will begin verifying completion of continuing education after renewal closes.
Since the Florida Laws and Rules course will be reported directly by CE providers, it will be the only course that will show up in your account at myfloridalicense.com. You should verify that the current course shows up in your licensure record by logging into your account at myfloridalicense.com. If it is missing, contact your course’s provider. Your PE license will not renew until the course appears in your licensure record.
The NCEES CPC Tracking system and the licensure system at myfloridalicense.com cannot be linked. The CE courses that you upload to NCEES CPC Tracking will not be reflected in your account at myfloridalicense.com.
If you have any questions about renewing your license, please call us at (850) 521-0500 and select “Renewal” to speak to a representative, or email renewal@fbpe.org.
Error: There is an error in the confirmation email sent from myfloridalicense.com after you have successfully renewed your PE license. The email incorrectly states that PEs are no longer required to report continuing education. Rule 61G15-22.006, Florida Administrative Code, has been changed to require all Florida PEs to report their CE credits to renew their license.
