California Professional Examination, Civil 2

[42805]

I want to take the PE for civil in California. I have a non ABET degree and a licensed civil engineer from foreign
country. I'm currently working in a government institution as an engineer non PE. I fuction as a project engineer/manager. Been working in the government for 19 years and 4 in private. I want to waive the EIT/FE, do i have to convert my experience and education to EIT/FE or could i directly fill up the PE form? Could some be kind enough to guide me. Thanks a lot.

HND(Higher National Diploma) and HNC(Higher National Certificate) are certificates given by an organization called City and Guilds after the candidate meets certain educational requirements (typically three years after O-Levels or 2 years after A-Levels)and passes rigorous examinations. The training is not oriented to theory (FEMs and all that jazz) but to practice.

While it is true there are obstacles in the way of foreign educated individuals to obtain licensure in the states, it is also very difficult for US educated individuals to attain licensure in many countries; they too face formidable obstacles.

Once the foreign educated individual passes the EIT, opportunities open up in the job market...because the potential employer will know that the PE will just be around the corner.
