State boards typically accept a PDH activity that meets the following criteria: “A course or activity whose purpose and objective are clear with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensees field of practice.” Correspondence, distance learning and internet courses are accepted by all the states that require engineering continuing education activities provided that the course meets the above guidelines and provided that completion of the course can be independently verified. The state boards consider completion of the course to be independently verified if you must take and pass a quiz to successfully complete the course, the quiz is graded and the results are kept on file by the course provider for a prescribed length of time (the number of years varies for each state).

All state boards accept live, interactive engineering seminars that cover material in engineering ethics, engineering laws & rules, and the core engineering disciplines. Most states accept business skills and personal development seminars, such as Project Management and Technical Writing. The notable exception is the New York state board, which does not accept these types of seminars.
