PDH/CEU for FDOT Temporary Traffic Control Policy

Do all providers offer continuing credit hours for MOT? 

• Professional Development Hours (PDH) are not automatically provided. Florida Board of Professional Engineers website: www.fbpe.org.  If offered, PDH Certificates will be provided separately from the MOT/TTC Certificate.  

• Professional Development Hour (PDH) is defined as one contact hour of instruction, presentation or study. The term PDH is commonly used in the engineering community. The maximum PDH for a seminar that starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. with an hour lunch is eight (8). Short breaks are permissible as long as a minimum of 50 minutes of presentation/participation/study per hour is undertaken. If there are no breaks, or there are breaks of less than 10 minutes per hour, no additional time may be claimed. PDH cannot exceed the actual contact clock hours. Round off PDH to the nearest half hour. No activity under a half hour will be accepted for credit. For example, a qualifying activity of 30 to 49 minutes would be reported as 0.5 PDH and an activity of 50 to 70 minutes would be reported as 1.0 PDH. PDH is sometimes called PDU (Professional Development Unit).

• How do I convert CEU to PDH?
  • 1.0 CEU (Continuing Education Unit) = 10 PDH's
  • 1.0 PDH (Professional Development Hour) = 1.0 Clock Hour (minimum 50 minutes)
