Professional Credentialing & Licensure for Engineers (PCLE)

Have you ever wanted to get your PE or PMP? The Director of Civil Engineers and The Civil Engineer School Wants to Help!

In July 2022, The Civil Engineer School (TCES) launched a brand-new initiative to assist CE team members choosing to hone their technical skills through the pursuit of professional credentials & licensures by providing access to industry-leading prep courses and exam fee reimbursement for engineers earning their Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or Project Management Professional (PMP) credential. Eligible students are authorized to enroll in one preparatory course and one exam reimbursement throughout their career.


The Professional Credentialing & Licensure for Engineers (PCLE) program currently consists of three AFIT TCES courses:

WMSS 500 - Project Management Professional (PMP) Preparatory Seminar
  • Provides access to a 35-hr LIVE online PMP prep course that satisfies exam prerequisites set by the credentialing organization, Project Management Institute (PMI).
    • A limited number of fully on-demand prep-course slots are available for overseas students that cannot attend live offerings.
  • 1-yr of access to commercial PMP prep materials to include practice questions, tests, guided solution & mastery videos. In addition, this commercial training course enables direct student-instructor communication capability for the entire 1-yr access period.
