Online PDH courses for bridge engineers
LoadPath PDH is continuing education built for bridge work: inspection, load rating, LRFD design, scour, preservation and repair. Every course is 1 PDH of online self-study written by Michael Craig, PE, a practicing bridge engineer, and ends with a 10-question quiz (70% to pass) and a certificate.
Pricing
- $10 per PDH course
- $149 for one year of All-Access to every course
