Guidelines
In
order for a continuing education course or activity to meet the Continuing
Professional Competency (CPC) requirements [21-56.1700] it must have “a
clear purpose and objective which will maintain, improve, and expand the
skills and knowledge relevant to the licensee’s field of practice” [21-56.1702(4)].
To
uniformly interpret the requirements and provide guidance to Approved
Sponsors, the following attributes serve as indicators that the Sponsor
will be in compliance with the CPC Rules adopted by the Board:
(While not all of these attributes are necessary to show compliance,
there is little question that the intent of the Rules are met if all are
met.)
1.The
sponsor provides courses that “contain a clear purpose and objective,
and result in the maintenance, improvement, and expansion of skills and
knowledge relevant to a licensee's field of practice” [21-56.1702(6)].
2.
The course or activity offered will enhance the licensee’s ability to
provide engineering/surveying services in a professional and competent
manner and better protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.
3.The
subject matter of the course or activity presented is related to a licensee’s
professional practice.
4.

of the course and the specific knowledge or skill to be taught or addressed,
as well as the credit to be earned in Professional Development Hours.
7.
