Licensed Professional Engineers:
Continuing professional development is a vital component of the engineering licensure process. Most state licensing boards require continuing professional development as a condition for licensure and renewal of the license to practice engineering. The acceptance of continuing education as it applies to fulfillment of the state licensing requirements for professional designations is at the pleasure of the individual state licensing boards. It is the responsibility of the individual participants to be knowledgeable about their state requirements. Pre-approval of training providers and courses is not required by most state licensing boards, except for the following:
Florida Board of Professional Engineers
Pump Systems Matter is a board-approved continuing education provider for the Florida Board of Professional Engineers: License # CEA361.
New York State Board for Engineering, Land Surveying, and Geology
Pump Systems Matter is approved as a sponsor of continuing education for professional engineers in New York State: NYS Sponsor # 241.
The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has developed three certifications: Pump System Certification – Level 1 (PSC Level 1), Pump System Certification – Level 2 (PSC Level 2), and the Pump System Assessment Professional (PSAP). Each certification level includes 16 standard knowledge domains but the knowledge topics within each domain have logical progression from understand and apply (Level 1), to interpret and analyze (Level 2), to evaluate and solve (PSAP).
Pump Systems Matter (PSM) has created an aligned training catalog. As outlined in the Pump System Training and Certification Alignment Pyramid below, each training product is assigned to a Learning Level that corresponds with the certification level. This creates a cohesive and structured learning pathway.
