Timed and Monitored Courses for Ohio Engineers
PDH-Pro developed a series of Timed and Monitored courses that meet the Ohio Board’s continuing education requirements. We worked with the Board’s requirements to develop a special procedure for Ohio engineers who complete our recorded and live webinars. Because of this, you can take up to 30 hours of our Timed and Monitored courses or live webinars during the biennial renewal cycle. Our Timed and Monitored courses include recorded live webinars, specially formatted online courses, or videos that meet the Ohio board requirements. Look for the Timed and Monitored logo on a course description page to know that the course is approved for Ohio PE’s.
Ohio Board Clarification About Online Courses
From the Ohio Board website -For an online course to qualify for credit, it must meet the requirements specified in Ohio R.C. section 4733.151. You must be able to track hours and certify completion. The online course provider must submit to you a certificate of completion or other proof of attendance. All thirty (30) of the PDH required each biennial renewal cycle can be earned through online courses.
PDH-Pro’s “Timed and Monitored” courses meet the Ohio board requirements (Ohio R.C. section 4733.151). As required, we track hours and provide a certificate of completion that indicates the course is “timed and monitored” to facilitate your renewal. We guarantee course acceptance.
How It Works
You do not need to complete the Timed and Monitored course in one session. Our website keeps track of your total time spent participating in the learning activity so you can start the course, take a break, and then resume where you left off. The Timed and Monitored format requires you to actively participate throughout the entire webinar. Once you complete the course, you will be prompted to complete a quiz. After you pass the quiz, you will automatically receive the certificate of completion. You may view the course content from your office or home using different devices with Internet connection.
To meet the Ohio requirements, you need to actively view a Timed and Monitored course and respond to prompts. Throughout the recorded webinar, our system will pause the presentation and ask you to click your mouse on the screen or answer a question related to the instructor’s discussion. If you do not respond to the prompt within 30 seconds, the system will return you to an earlier portion of the webinar and continue the lesson. Once you complete the webinar, you will be able to take the quiz and receive your certificate of completion.
If you are not an Ohio PE or do not need a course that meets the Ohio board requirements, we offer a Recorded Webinar format of all Timed and Monitored courses that is less restrictive. These courses include the same recorded webinar and provide the same PDH hours as the Timed and Monitored format.
