- NCARB has implemented a very helpful calculator that will show you exactly how your current hours will rollover into the new system. See link below It is important to know that if you have currently completed a training category, you will NOT be required to meet the new required minimum hours. You will be considered exempt. However, if you do not currently meet the minimum hours needed, you will be required to meet the new requirement.
- example
- If you do not have 120 hours completed in Engineering Systems Coordination by the April deadline, you will then need to complete a total of 360 hours in this category.
- Bob had 100 hours of Engineering Systems Coordination by April 5th, he now needs an additional 260 hours in order to complete this category.
- The total number of interning hours needed is remaining 5,600. However, some categories will have less hours than before, while others will have more hours in each training area.
- As always, we recommend that the first step you do is to download the IDP2.0 handbook and read the few pages in the packet. This packet lists several helpful tips and examples.
