FAQ's:
Q: Do I watch the DVD courses like a DVD movie?
- No, this course is a multimedia course, containing PDF text files, photo slides, animation videos and video clips. We have placed the whole thing on a DVD due to it's shear volume. This was done intentionally to give you the capability to stop the DVD at any time and come back to it at a later time when it's convenient for you. This way you do not have to watch the whole thing for 15 hours straight!
- Simply place the DVD in the DVD drive and follow the instructions on the back of the DVD case. You can stop the DVD at any place and come back to it at a later time.
Q. Do I have to take a test or quiz for this DVD seminar course?
- We have done our best to prepare this DVD course as if you are attending a seminar at home. Our 15 PDH DVD and CD courses (home seminar) are a multimedia DVD of a live seminar. It contains PDF text files, computer animation, power point presentation and video clips.
- If you are registered in Texas, no. After our discussion with Mr. Lance Kinney, P. E. of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers at an ASME seminar in Houston, since the engineers who took the live seminar of this course did not take a test, you do not have to take a test for the DVD of the seminar presentation either. You can simply follow the instructions on the back of DVD case and introduction letter. We have enclosed a self-test quiz for those who like to test their skills. You can check the questions on the "quiz questions" page.
- If you are registered in other states, in general you do not take a quiz at a seminar, since you are attending or auditing it. If your state requires a test for a home seminar, simply take the quiz online 24/7 and print your certificate any time after your purchase. You must have already paid or purchased the course before printing your certificate.
No registration or password required.
If you need a copy of your test or score, simply print the screen of your quiz or your score. You can take the quiz as many times as you want. You can take a look at the quiz questions to see what type of questions you need to be able to answer. The purpose of the class is not to flunk the students but to teach them.
We offer a 100% full money back guarantee if your board of engineering does not accept our course fully or partially for any reason. We would need proof of denial from your board.
Q: How does the DVD & CD courses qualify as engineering continuing education course?
The courses are designed based on the definition of "course/activity" as it is defined by all the boards of professional engineering offices across the country as, "any qualifying course or activity which will maintain, improve skill and knowledge". You can browse through the "DVD Course Topics" page for the engineering business and forensic engineering topics in this course. The future live seminar topics are different from the DVD courses.
Q: Are these DVDs open to non-PE engineers?
Yes, absolutely. In most cases as an expert witness you do not have to be a registered engineer. The Judge will decide if you qualify to testify as an expert in the field, based on your technical background and work experience, regardless if you are a registered engineer or not. In some cases you have to be a registered engineer either to do the work or comply with certain codes.
