Can one continuing education course count towards multiple licenses?

What do I do with my CE certificates of completion?

Licensees are responsible for maintaining their CE records. You will be asked to upload them at the time of renewal.

In the future, you will be able to upload certificates to your online profile, under Log My CE. This feature is not available at this time.

I need to take an exam. What is the process and who do I contact?

There is no change to the exam process for Wastewater/Water System Designers. We encourage you to take your exam with DEC before applying with OPR.
