Professional Engineers licensed in Florida must use the free NCEES CPC Tracking system to report continuing-education courses.

As a Florida PE, you must complete 18 hours of continuing education every biennium. You will need to use NCEES CPC Tracking to report your completed courses.

Only Florida laws and rules courses will be reported directly by CE providers. Log into your myfloridalicense.com account to confirm that it shows you have completed the course. If it does not, your PE license will not renew; please contact your course’s provider.

The NCEES CPC Tracking system is separate from Florida’s licensing system at myfloridalicense.com. The two cannot be linked, and you will not see your CE records at myfloridalicense.com.

The following instructions will step you through the process of reporting your CE hours and documentation using the NCEES CPC Tracking system.

Add Courses and CE Documentation

Steps 10 through 15 show you how to add a continuing education course and upload its documentation to your CPC Tracking record. Repeat these steps as many times as needed to completely report your 18 hours of continuing education.

NCEES uses different nomenclature for the CE categories:

  • “Ethics” for the ethics course (one hour)
  • “Laws and Regulation” for a Florida Laws and Rules course (one hour)
  • “Technical” for courses related to your area of practice (four hours)
  • “Business Practice” or “Any” for courses related to any topic pertinent to the practice of engineering (12 hours).

Add a course to your Florida record by clicking the “Add Course” button.

(If you received only one certificate for multiple CE courses at, for instance, a conference, please read “Chair’s Corner: Tips for Reporting Multiple CE Credits With One Certificate.”)

Continue to next step.
