DOE Policy Regarding Continuing Education

• DOE O 361.1A, Chapter IV, states that each
  certified federal project director (FPD) is
  required to successfully complete 60 continuing
  education (CE) hours of approved training
  biennially to maintain certification.

• By memo to the FPDs of August 25, 2006, the
  Certification Review Board stated that
• accumulation of CE hour credit will begin with
  the most recent FPD certification date, and
• CE hours accumulated prior to the most recent FPD
  certification date will not be credited toward
  the subsequent biennial period.
• Failure to satisfy CE hour requirements may lead
  to de-certification of the FPD.

Failure to satisfy CE hour requirements
De-Certificationand Re-Certification
The Certification Review Board will consider
de-certifying a Federal Project Director for
failure to attain 60 Continuing Education (CE)
hours over their requisite two-year period.
