I am registered in several States across the United States and each State is slightly different in requirements. There are several States that are rediculas and those are Florida and New York. An obvious attempt to keep out of staters form practicing. I would hope Virginia does not end up like that. Also you will find that Architects and Engineers have some of the largest requirements for continuing ed of any profession. In many cases twice as much as lawyers. The present system is not really very good and it really is an added cost to the company. I do learn new things every year but would probably would anyway. The biggest area of continuing ed is keeping up with all of the public sector regulations!!!!! .
