ya i did on mine. Even added NCEES records as well lol

 

[knight1fox3]

Mine has PE after my name and I list the state and date under certifications.

lusone:

Was that a top priority for you to update LinkedIn?
arty-smiley-048:

Do you guys list each state that you are licensed in on your profile or just your "home" state?

I put all of the states.

I do as well. That way when I do consulting on the side, clients can get a quick idea of my certs.

Why do some people have NCEES as a title??

John Doe, PE, NCEES

I've never seen this until today when looking for the NCEES linkedin page

Professional test taker

I don't understand people that put NCEES as their licensing agency on Facebook. All NCEES does is provide a test for you to take. The licensing agency should be your home state's licensing board.

 

[NJmike PE]

I was told it signifies that you are a professional test taker

 

[John QPE]

Like they are the ones that review the exam?

They do review the exam, but they don't give you the license. You can get a perfect score on the exam and not get your PE License if your local licensing board decides you aren't ready or qualified. All NCEES provides is a test that can provide an overall assessment of someone's engineering knowledge. In fact, any state could provide you a license without even taking the PE exam if they had reason to believe it was not needed. The whole reason for the exam is a big CYA.

I know who NCEES is, I was asking if the people who list NCEES as a credential John Doe, PE, NCEES were the guys who review the questions? Determine which ones are good or bad?

I understand now. I was talking about people that list NCEES as their licensing agency under the LinkedIn Licenses and Certifications instead of listing their state board of licensing.

I think you must be confused when I said NCEES record. Oh my name I have John Doe, PE

Under the detail certification, I have NCESS Records.

Putting NCEES next to the name is just silly! Like them IT people..crazy

I actually had to do a search to see it myself. Very strange. It looked like quite a few were from overseas, which could explain it a little. Be interested to understand the logic behind it.

I've never understood the people who have the LEED AP, PMP, and various other certs who put the ® symbol in their name.

...

As for the certification on LinkedIn, I just put my state and date for now. I'll add license number when it's issued.

...

Be careful about holding yourself out as a professional engineer before you are actually licensed...

Ohio issues license numbers within 3 days after you send you final registration money in. So all good now. It was only a difference of a few days of proclaiming to be a PE without an actual license number yet.
