Contact Hours & Certification

The Minnesota Section AWWA Conference provides licensed operators with Direct Contact Hours. Professional Engineers can obtain PDHs for professional license renewal based on attendance of sessions.

Attendees who require PDHs should be aware of the following information about proof of credits and audits:

According to the Minnesota Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geosciences, and Interior Design (AELSLAGID), normal renewal forms only require the total number of PDH or CEU hours attended. They don’t require proof unless audited. The audit rate for AELSLAGID is approximately 2% of all applicants (in 2012, they audited 278 people).

If audited, the Audit Committee then requires the applicant to provide: • Proof of attendance (usually by registration form + receipt) • Information on the sessions/training they attended (this can be a certificate with total number of PDHs/

CEUs printed on it, or a conference bulletin with the session description listing the number of PDH or CEUs, or with session descriptions that provide enough information for the auditor to evaluate if it met the professional requirements).
