ON-DEMAND WEBINAR 10-PACKS

Most states require licensed engineers and surveyors to earn
PDHs each year and file the credits with their state licensing
boards. But for many A/E and surveying professionals, the
time and expense of a multiday training program is a challenge, especially when renewal deadlines approach.
Many engineers have turned to ACEC On-Demand
Webinars to find quality programming on critical engineering business management topics and earn PDHs when and
where they like. The On-Demand Webinar 10-Pack makes
in-house continuing education immediate, accessible and
cost-effective. Instead of paying $199 per individual webi-

nar, the 10-pack rate delivers 10 webinars at just $140 per
session-that's a $59 savings with every selection. There's
no expiration date, you can choose webinars on the fly, and
your subscription is completely transferable among staff and
offices. Each 90-minute recording carries 1.5 PDHs (unless
otherwise specified). Topics include:
Business Management and Quality, Finance and Economics, Human Resources, Marketing and New Business Development, Contracts and Risk Management, Leadership and
Ethics, Project Management and Project Delivery, Public
Policy and Industry Issues.
