ACEC Ohio On-demand Ethics Training Course
ACEC Ohio is excited to announce we have partnered with industry leaders to develop an online, on-demand ethics training course customized for Ohio ethics and law.
In 2018, the Ohio Legislature added a new requirement for license renewal; two-hour’s worth of ethics training pertaining to the Ohio Revised Code every two years. With this new requirement, ACEC Ohio took action and developed a low-cost course to satisfy the training requirements.
The ACEC Ohio course consists of a two-part module equating to two hours of work and is available to all engineers working in Ohio for only $50. Click here for a pdf flyer.
The course is now available! Please visit acecohio.cd2learning.com to get started! Call ACEC Ohio at 614-487-8844 or email [email protected] with questions.
