Notes The West Virginia Board does not pre-approve continuing education courses or providers. Since no pre-approval process is offered in WV, the Board will have final authority with respect to approval of credits when reviewing annual renewals. Should one be audited, it will be the responsibility of the PE to produce records and defend the claimed credit used for professional development activities.

Please visit our website to review the current WV Engineering Law for additional guidance on continuing education requirements and documentation required should one be audited. https://www.wvpebd.gov/Continuing-Education
