FREE 1-Hour Ethics Course
Live webinar or on-demand. Pick a format above and click Register.
CE Certificate optional: $59.99 upgrade at the quiz.
For many engineers who end up in ethical trouble there was no single moment when they decided to cut a corner or ignore a rule.
There were small steps along the way. Sometimes things they didn’t even know were problems.
But the little things and unknowns can lead to big problems. Disciplinary action, lost licenses, and legal exposure.
You can’t afford to get ethics wrong.
That’s why we’re offering this 1-hour ethics training ABSOLUTELY FREE.
Join Rebecca Bowman, registered professional engineer, attorney and former Senior Director of Ethics and Professional Practice at the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE).
In this webinar, you’ll discover:
- How to recognize the subtle steps and “I didn’t know” issues that lead engineers off course.
- Clear answers on the Code of Professional Responsibility and what it means for you, your license and your day-to-day decisions.
- Why a “forgiveness rather than permission” mindset can carry serious consequences in engineering, and what to do instead.
Saving your spot for this FREE event is as simple as choosing to view LIVE or on-demand and hitting the register button.
If you’re just here for the great information Rebecca is going to share you’ll be set!
And if you need a CE certificate to meet your credit requirements…
…you can upgrade for just $59.99.
Just finish the program and you’ll be asked for payment when you access the quiz.
