Arizona PE CE (PDH) Requirements (2026): No Mandatory CE Hours
Requirements Overview
The Arizona State Board of Technical Registration licenses professional engineers but imposes no continuing education requirement for renewal. The board's official Engineer Applicant FAQ describes registration and renewal in full and contains no mention of continuing education, PDH, or professional development hours.
PE registration is valid for three years from the date of issuance. The board mails courtesy reminders, but each registrant is responsible for renewing on time. Because no PDH are required, there is no carry-over, mandatory-topic, or self-study rule to track. If you also hold licenses in other states, note that those jurisdictions may require PDH even though Arizona does not.
