Webinar Becomes More Popular

More and more professionals who need to fulfill their live course requirements participate in our interactive PDH Webinars in the comfort of their offices or homes. They prefer the webinar to the traditional seminar because:

It is portable, and you can attend the webinar anywhere with an Internet and telephone connection.
It requires no travel and no time away from work or family.
It poses no threat of contracting flu virus, which is often transmitted via contact of large number of people attending winter seminars.
It has flexible scheduling. We offer each webinar once every 3 to 4 months and the detailed schedule is posted at Live Courses & Web Seminars Category. You can fit it into your schedule and make reservation in advance. If you happen to miss the one you registered, you will be automatically enrolled into the next one.

If you have not taken a webinar before, we strongly recommend that you try one of our webinars to see how effective it is in helping you fulfilling your continuing education needs.

The fast-growing PDH Center Course Library has reached another major milestone, 1250 online courses. We are dedicated to provide the professional engineers, architects and land surveyors with the largest and most versatile collection of quality online continuing education courses. This expanded course library provides extensive coverage of course subjects in all major engineering and surveying disciplines, board laws & rules, ethics, and business and project management. For a complete list of PDH courses, please visit the Course Library at http://www.PDHcenter.com.

PDH Center has recently received TN Board’s pre-approval of 24 more courses, which bring the total of TN pre-approved courses to 35 for Tennessee Land Surveyors. We also offer pre-approved courses for professional land surveyors in the states of New York, Florida, Missouri, Vermont, Texas and New Jersey. The pre-approved courses are listed for each respective state under the category of "Surveying and Mapping" in our course library. Our courses are acceptable for all other states that do not have pre-approval programs.

Continuing the trend of requiring PDH credits for professional license renewals, Alaska and Virginia have joined the growing list of states with such requirements. Specifically, professional engineers in the state of Alaska will need 24 PDH credits for their biennial license renewal starting December 2010. The Virginia General Assembly has passed the bill (HB1054) which mandates that the Virginia APELSCIDLA Board implement a mandatory continuing education program (16 PDH’s) for architects, professional engineers, and land surveyors. The VA Board is currently implementing the legislative mandate and expects to announce the detailed PDH requirements in first quarter of 2009.

PDH Center is proud to have more than 130 highly qualified and motivated professionals as our course providers. In 2008, twenty three industry experts joined our fast growing and diversified provider team to share their wealth of knowledge and expertise with our valued users.
