How structural engineering licensure works in Vermont

Vermont does not issue a separate Structural Engineer license. Structural engineers practice under the Professional Engineer (PE) license and renew it like any other PE.

Vermont requires 30 PDH per 2-year cycle. Hours do not carry over between cycles.

An SE is earned via the NCEES 16-hour Structural Engineering exam, taken after you hold a PE. PE License Pro tracks your SE and PE side by side and applies the Vermont renewal rule to both.
