Quick answer

Tracking CE for a PE license means counting hours against each state's own rules: total PDH per cycle, ethics carve-outs, carryover limits, and what each board accepts. PE License Proimports your NCEES CPC record in one click, applies every state's rules automatically, and shows how many hours you still owe for each license. Log a course once and apply it to every license it counts for. Free for your first license.

Already on NCEES CPC?

Make NCEES CPC actually usable.

The NCEES Continuing Professional Competency record is the official storage. Most state boards accept it. It's also clunky, requires manual entry per course, and gives you zero visibility into your renewal progress.

PE License Pro pulls your entire CPC record into a real dashboard, progress bars per state, deadline alerts, missing-hour warnings. NCEES stays the source of truth. We just make it usable.

  • One-click sync from NCEES CPC
  • Checks your hours against each state's PDH, ethics, and carryover rules
  • Real-time renewal countdown per state
  • Re-sync anytime; nothing to re-enter

Built for the way PEs actually track CE

Single-state PEs and multi-state PEs both end up tracking CE in spreadsheets that fall apart at renewal. PE License Pro replaces the spreadsheet without making you abandon NCEES.

One-click NCEES CPC sync

Already log hours in NCEES Continuing Professional Competency? Pull your entire record into PE License Pro in one click. No re-entry. Import again anytime to pick up new courses.

Multi-state rules, applied automatically

Licensed in 4 states? Log a course once and link it to each license. PE License Pro checks your hours against each state's PDH total, ethics hours, and carryover rules, and shows what you still owe for each one.

Renewal countdown per state

See exactly how many PDH you still owe for each state's next renewal. Get email reminders at 90, 60, and 30 days, then at 7, 3, and 1 day out. No more scrambling in December.

Audit-ready exports

Export your CE log as a CSV in one click: course name, provider, date, hours, and category. Stops a board audit from being a weekend project.

Common ways CE tracking goes wrong

What to watch for

Forgetting the ethics carve-out

Some states require a specific number of ethics hours within the total PDH (Florida: 1 ethics plus 1 laws and rules. Texas: 2 ethics per renewal cycle.). Logging 30 PDH of all-technical content fails audit. Tag ethics hours as you earn them, not after.

Counting NCEES CPC hours toward states that don't accept them

Most states accept NCEES Continuing Professional Competency, but a few have specific approved-provider rules (RCEP-only, in-state-only, etc.). Read your state's CE rule before assuming all CPC hours transfer.

Earning hours late

Some boards do not accept CE earned after the cycle ends, even if you renew on time. The course must be completed within the renewal cycle, not before you click renew.

Ignoring the per-cycle cap on non-technical / live-online hours

Several states cap how many of your total PDH can come from live webinars, lunches, or non-technical content. Going over the cap means those hours don't count, period.

Frequently asked questions

What is NCEES CPC?

NCEES Continuing Professional Competency (CPC) is the official continuing-education record system run by NCEES. Most state engineering boards accept it as proof of CE compliance. It is the official record. The interface is dated.

Why use PE License Pro if NCEES CPC already exists?

NCEES CPC is the official record. PE License Pro is the dashboard you actually use day-to-day: real-time progress bars per state, deadline alerts, missing-hour warnings, audit-ready exports, and per-state rule application. NCEES stays the source of truth, we sync from it.

Does PE License Pro work if I'm only licensed in one state?

Yes. Single-state tracking is what most PEs need. Multi-state rule logic kicks in when you add additional licenses, log a course once, and PE License Pro counts it correctly under each state's rules.

How does the NCEES CPC sync work?

On Pro and up, sign in with your NCEES login and PE License Pro imports every course in your CPC record (course name, provider, date, hours) and links it to your licenses. We don't store your NCEES password. Import again anytime; imported entries are replaced with a fresh copy from NCEES.

What's a PDH?

A Professional Development Hour. One PDH equals one contact hour of qualified continuing education. Most state boards measure your CE obligation in PDH (some call them CEU, but the unit is the same).

Do I need to track ethics hours separately?

Yes, in any state that has an ethics carve-out (Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and others). PE License Pro lets you tag courses as ethics so the count is right for state-board audits. The state rules table on this page shows which states require ethics hours.
