Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 61G15-22.012 - Obligations of Continuing Education Providers
To maintain status as a continuing education provider, the provider must:
(1)
(a) Provide courses or seminars designed to
enhance the education of engineers in the practice of engineering;
(b) Require each licensee to complete the
entire course or seminar in order to receive a certificate of
completion;
(c) Furnish each
participant with an individual certificate of attendance. The certificate of
attendance must include the following: participant/licensee name;
participant/licensee PE number; course number, if applicable; course topic;
presenter; date of class; number of continuing education hours awarded; and a
brief description of the course. Each course shall be on a separate
certificate. An attendance record shall be maintained by the provider for four
years and shall be available for inspection by the Board and the Florida
Engineers Management Corporation.
(d) Ensure that all promotional material for
courses or seminars offered to professional engineers for credit contain the
provider number.
(e) Allow only one
continuing education hour for each hour of classroom, audio or video
instruction, an "hour of classroom, audio or video instruction" being a minimum
of 50 minutes instruction or presentation.
(f) Allow only one continuing education hour
for each "hour of correspondence study." The "hour of correspondence study"
must be based on the average completion time of each course as established by
the provider.
(g) Provide a written
examination to each participating licensee in correspondence study courses. In
order to complete the course, the licensee must sign and date the examination
and receive a minimum grade of seventy percent (70%). If a licensee fails the
examination, they will be permitted to take the examination again in order to
achieve a passing grade.
(h) Notify
the Board within fourteen (14) days of any change in the address or telephone
number of the provider.
(i) Allow
FEMC's and the Board's designee to have access to information concerning
courses or seminars conducted by the provider for continuing education
credit.
(j) As required by section
455.2178(1),
F.S., electronically submit student rosters directly to the Department of
Business and Professional Regulation Education Provider Reporting Portal at
http://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/education-provider-reporting-portal/.
(2) Providers must make
available to potential participants course information sufficient to allow a
participant to clearly understand the course content, learning objectives and
outcomes, and level of difficulty prior to enrolling in the course. This
requirement may be satisfied by either posting a detailed course description or
representative excerpts of the course materials, if course materials in their
entirety are not made available for review prior to course
registration.
