Professional Development Hour (PDH) Requirements

Alaska’s professional engineers are required to complete 24 hours of continuing education before each renewal period, which ends December 31 of odd numbered years.

You may earn all of your hours through online or correspondence courses. If you hold multiple registrations in Alaska, you still only need 24 PDH total. However, at least 8 PDH must be earned in subject matter pertaining to your registration.

A maximum of 12 PDH may be carried forward into the next renewal period.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:  If the state Board rejects one of our courses for any reason, you get a FULL refund. No questions asked. Simply provide a copy of the rejection letter issued to you by your State Licensing Board.
