Florida # update

[Guest]

Luis --

I give many thanks to you my friend. It has been a long road, but we have both made it B)

Le diré esto honesto. Cuando recibí la letra que indicó el paso él era casi increíble a mí. Para el mes pasado, he llevado esa letra con mí. Lo miraba cada día para ver si el resultado era diferente. Ahora hoy, puedo tomar orgullo para llamarme un ingeniero profesional. Finalmente siento hoy los resultados de todo el trabajo duro.

Cuando estoy abajo en su parte del mundo le visitaré definitivamente. Estoy mirando adelante a satisfacerle en persona una cierta hora. Advertencia justa sin embargo - mecanografío en español a mucho mejor que hablándola.

Hopefully I didn't butcher that too bad.

Best regards,

JR

Called Bryan (sp?) and he had to remove some check thing so the number would show up. I have it now.

Yeah!!!

Pretty good JR.

Maybe you should apply for a license at Puerto Rico also. You would do good there.

Congrats again!!!!!

Now....time to harve$$$$t...

Mine's there too, feels great! It's been super busy at work today I haven't had time to check in here. I looked my number up on a whim and found it. I was coming here to post to all of you that mine was up but you are all far ahead of me today. Congrats FL PE's!!!! I haven't really minded having to wait a month after finding out I passed the test, but it is kind of weird that it takes so long to get a licence number and have it "officialized". My sympathy to all of you that haven't even heard about your test results yet, discussions like this one must be maddening to you all.

ASSED2: bump :th_rockon:

jregieng called me at work today and informed me that the number is up. I checked and sure it was! ASSED2:

Finally, I'm officially a PE in FL. :th_rockon:

Congrats to all of you that passed! bump

It is so cool re-living the excitement from these post. I must agree, the nubmer is great, it brings a sense of closure to a long overdue task. But for me, the most rewarding drama, was opening that mail box and tearing into the letter. I will never forget that feeling. That is a truly priceless moment. Anyhow, the euphoria does fade, but the accopmlishment is yours for a lifetime.

Congrats to you Newbies, and welcome to the CLUB! Great Job !

When I got mine, I thought "great, here's my fail notice". Then I opened the letter and read

Examination Status: Pass

I thought to myself "is this a joke? Is this a junk mail? Who mail me this thing?" I looked at the envelope and saw that it's from ELSES. I still think to myself "there must be a mistake". I asked my wife to re-read the letter and she confirmed that I passed. But anyway, I still thought that it's some sort of mistake until several days ago when I got my PE number.

Ok, what now? I've got my licence number, my seals will be delivered this afternoon, but I'm pretty sure I"m not supposed to seal anything until I get my wall certificate, pay a fee, and pass some kind of online module on the FBC. Do you all agree with that statement? I sure hope some clear instructions/guidelines come with the wall certificate. The FBPE website seems to be lacking in useful information letting new PE's know whay they have to do to become officially official.

Once that number was assigned to you were licensed as a professional engineer in the state of Florida. Receipt of the certificate has no bearing on your registration status - anyone can look that up at myfloridalicense if they questioned it.

So ......... stamp away !!

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ What I did before my certificates came was print out the online database entry and tape it to my wall.

No frills proof right there.

I've been sealing plans all week...



Does anyone know when our wall cert will be here though?

I was told about two weeks after the numbers were issues ... so by my math that would be February 2, which is consistent with previously posted times for when the certificates arrived.

[MetroRAFB]

Any information on the potential requirement for taking and passing an online code module as part of the licensing process? I'm not sure if there really is such a requirement, but I heard from a friend that there is.

 

[scottiesei]

You can do it on line. You have a year to do it after you are registered.

 

[MetroRAFB]

Thanks for the clarification scottiesei. I had heard that we had to do that before we could seal anything, but that really didn't make any sense to me. I suspect we'll get more information when we receive our wall certificates.

 

[scottiesei]

I think I may be off. I just watched it on-line. Took about 2 hours. The one year thing was to watch the class after you registered with the web site. I think we should watch it b4 we stamp any (or anymore) plans just to be safe.

The provision of the Florida Statute states,

471.0195 Florida Building Code training for engineers.--All licensees actively participating in the design of engineering works or systems in connection with buildings, structures, or facilities and systems covered by the Florida Building Code shall take continuing education courses and submit proof to the board, at such times and in such manner as established by the board by rule, that the licensee has completed the core curriculum courses and any specialized or advanced courses on any portion of the Florida Building Code applicable to the licensee's area of practice or has passed the appropriate equivalency test of the Building Code Training Program as required by s. 553.841. The board shall record reported continuing education courses on a system easily accessed by code enforcement jurisdictions for evaluation when determining license status for purposes of processing design documents. Local jurisdictions shall be responsible for notifying the board when design documents are submitted for building construction permits by persons who are not in compliance with this section. The board shall take appropriate action as provided by its rules when such noncompliance is determined to exist.

History.--s. 38, ch. 2000-356; s. 23, ch. 2002-299.

I tend to agree with Scottie - you need to be in compliance with this part of the statute prior to making certifications as it relates to the building code. I will try to make a few phone calls because this will affect me too.

Please let us know what you find out!

Just checked on FBPE and I am a new FL PE!!!!!! :waitwall: Sorry, I am not bragging but I had my doubts that it was going to happen so fast. Put all the documents on Nov 7th 06. I was warned that FBPE was going to give me a hard time and I prepared myself for a long battle. I went ahead of them and presented all the evidence... and even more.

You don't have any idea what I have been thru. From people saying that I was a second rated PE because I was not licensed in the states and even the place I work ignoring my achievement completely denying me the incentive they offered.

I want to recognize the help and the support of one of the members here. I owe you big my friend. :waitwall:

This a sweet victory for me and my family.

Thanks GOD!!!!!!!
