Florida Board of Professional Engineers Approves Haestad Methods' Continuing Education Programs

Haestad Methods has been selected as a continuing education provider by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. Recognized as one of the world's leading training organizations in the fields of hydrology and hydraulics, Haestad Methods provides accredited programs, enabling civil engineers to fulfill state license renewal requirements.

"Our Continuing Education team is honored to offer civil engineers various educational opportunities to meet the prescribed standards of education, competency and practice," said Nicole Beckom, director of continuing education for Haestad Methods. "Having trained over 10,000 engineering professionals, our courses are continually evolving to provide the most advanced technologies for water resources modeling in the industry."

Haestad Methods had to satisfy stringent regulations in order to qualify for the Board's list of approved providers. The selection process involved meeting requirements for time-measured professional development hours, specific units of continuing education courses, focused areas of practice and active participation in professional or technical societies.

Consultants, municipalities and state agencies can bring Haestad Methods' workshops to their own office sites. In each case, Haestad Methods will work with clients to customize on-site training to fit specific budget, class size and technical objectives.

All major workshops are fully accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). Haestad Methods is duly authorized to award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs), which are required for renewal of Professional Engineering licenses in many states.
