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.
Only the Florida laws and rules course will be reported directly by the CE provider; but you must report all 18 hours using the free NCEES CPC Tracking system.
We have step-by-step instructions on our website that will help you set up a free NCEES account and begin uploading your CE documentation.
As you complete your CE courses, start uploading your documents to your NCEES CPC Tracking account, but do not send your CE transcript to FBPE until after you have completed 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.
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 are not 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.
