I know the requirement varies by state (I'm in PA so I need 24 hours every 2 years), but what is the CE approval process? My concern is that I would register for an expensive seminar and it would not be approved as CE credit, mainly because the seminar I am interested in is located in England. It is a 3-day intensive course focused on EMC in industry, which should qualify according to 4.5.c.4 below, but before I spend any money I want to know if this will qualify or not. Can anyone explain what is necessary to gain approval (besides the attendance sheet, syllabus, logs, etc). Do you fill out a form? Can you contact the state and ask for pre-approval?
I went to the state board and read the new requirements, and according to section 4.5 Continuing Professional Competency Requirements:
b ) ... Continuing professional competency obtained by a licensee should maintain, improve or expand skills and knowledge obtained prior to initial licensure, including law and ethics applicable to the profession, or develop new and relevant skills and knowledge. No credit shall be given for a course in practice building or office management.
c ) ... PHD units may be earned as follows:
1 ) Successful completion of college courses relevant to professional practice.
2 ) Completion of continuing education courses relevant to professional practice
3 ) Completion of correspondence, televised, videotaped and other short courses or tutorials relevant to professional practice.
4 ) Completion of seminars, employer-sponsored courses, workshops or professional or technical presentations made at meetings, conventions or conferences relevant to professional practice.
