FBPE Provider #0010781 | License #906
Only $89 | 17 Hours Online | Instant Emailed Certificates

Complete 17 hours of Florida Professional Engineer continuing education online with one convenient package from 1st Choice CE.

This Florida PE CE package is designed for Professional Engineers who need online continuing education for license renewal and want practical, engineering-focused courses covering ethics, construction observation, building systems, code compliance, MEP coordination, wind mitigation, building-envelope performance, structural safety, documentation, and public protection.

This package includes five online courses totaling 17 continuing education hours. It includes the required 1 hour of ethics and 16 additional hours of Florida engineering CE that may be used toward area-of-practice or general engineering hours, depending on the engineer’s practice area and renewal needs.

Important: This package does not include the separate 1-hour Florida Laws and Rules course. Florida PEs generally need 18 total CE hours, so most engineers will still need to complete a 1-hour Florida Laws and Rules course separately to satisfy the full renewal requirement.

The courses are 100% online and self-paced. You can log in and out without losing your progress, complete the courses on your schedule, and receive instant emailed certificates after completion.

Florida Professional Engineers are responsible for reporting completed continuing education through NCEES CPC Tracking. After completing the courses, keep your certificates and upload or report them in your NCEES CPC Tracking account.
