What this means for firm owners in Alaska
Alaska PE licenses renew on this schedule: biennial; renews December 31 of odd-numbered years. Each PE needs 24 PDH per biennium. Up to 12 PDH can carry forward to the next period.
Use the Alaska Board of Architects, Engineers and Land Surveyors’ site to confirm the rules for PE renewals and continuing education. Set a process to track each employee’s renewal dates and required PDH, then verify the timing and requirements directly with the board.
If you hire a PE licensed elsewhere, confirm Alaska’s comity process with the board, including whether an NCEES Record is used. Also check whether your firm must register in Alaska and what steps apply.
Owner checklist
- Check the board site for PE renewal dates and requirements.
- Confirm the board’s PDH rules and track staff compliance.
- Ask the board how comity applications work and whether an NCEES Record is needed.
- Confirm whether your firm must register and what registration steps apply.
