Last verified from official sources: 2026-06-26. This is a plain-language summary, not legal advice — always confirm the current rules with your licensing board.

Does Connecticut require continuing education for Professional Engineers?

No. Based on the board’s current rules, Connecticut does not require continuing education (PDH/CE) to renew a Professional Engineer (PE) license. You still need to renew on time and keep your license in good standing.

What this means for you

  • There is no mandated PDH count for this license today.
  • Rules change — boards add CE requirements periodically, so check before each renewal.
  • If you hold a license in another state too, that state may still require PDH.

Who this applies to

Licensed Professional Engineer (PE)s renewing in Connecticut. If you are newly licensed, the first renewal is often prorated or exempt — check your specific renewal notice.
