I have tried calling FBPE a few times ... all I have gotten is
However, I did talk to my supervisor about this. He indicated that taking the Building Code Core class per the requirement under 471.0195, F.S. needed to be met prior to certifying anything that would need to meet the Florida Building code. He said there isn't a 'phase-in' period like there is with Professional Development Hours (PDHs) - you must be in compliance immediately.
My supervisor added that I was much better to take the class and update my file, reflecting accomplishment of this training course rather than give someone the oppurtunity to question whether certifications would fall under that provision of the statute.
FWIW - I am taking the class once my workload is cut from a mountain to .... I guess something less.

Congrats Luis! I'm very disappointed with the FL board, I wish they were more "with it". Oh well, they were with it enought to issue you and me a PE license number so at least we've got that! Congrats again!

I took my class Monday. Got a neat wall cert emailed but the web site still does not show anything new. Sean at the board requested that I send him a copy of the cert. I am not sure if that is common protocol or just bc it's been a few days.

My supervisor took the course a few weeks ago - he had to do the same. I think they are still trying to work the 'bugs' out of the system.

My wall cert was for the Core Class. I still have not received the PE one. Any day now though I guess....

Yeah, still waiting on it. Any ideas as to framing and such...or just use a simple frame like the old guys do?

My wife has already picked out a fancy frame and matting for the background. She has taken over the EXTREME MAKEOVER re-organization for my office.
I haven't done anything to stop her. Amongst us guys -- it needed it.

Ok, my wife is good at the reorganizational thing too. Maybe I should give this task to her?

I got my Wall Cert + License Display by mail today (Tallahassee). It was postmarked Feb 12 2007 - so you should see something soon. :2cents:

No wall cert. for me yet, although our mail hasn't run yet today. I did receive the monthly newsletter from the FL board yesterday where they showed who they put the smack down on for screwing up. One dude got a $25K fine, Yikes!!!

I got the newsletter yesterday too - your mail is probably 'coordinated' with mine. You should have a goodie in the box when you get home tonight.
As far as the penalties .. I said 'YIKES' too. I heard it was fairly standard to fine at least $2K + ethics class + oversight by another engineer. From what I understand, it costs some serious $$ for the oversight.
As far as stamps, I am still waiting for mine.

I suspect that only the most greivous offenses/offenders get put in the newsletter, but it's sobering none the less. The brief descriptions don't really give you enough details to figure out exactly what the engineer did or didn't do, just a little blurb. I think the newsletter is intended to make all of us think twice before sealing something.
