Terms This license is renewed every three years based on first licensure date. Renew Now Fill out the online renewal application and submit. Coast Guard Application. Educational Contact hours are time spent in-front of the Presenter or lecturer.
Presenters, lecturers, instructors, trainers can be from an accredited institution, a school, or corporation, seminar or a manufacturer's technical representative presentation or your employer, but the topics must be applicable to the a license they hold. I highly recommend writing exam questions for the NASOE to anyone not only interested in an alternative to maintain their CEH's, but also to help keep field knowledge up to date in one's mind.
While challenging, writing such questions is a rewardable experience and extremely helpful for operators who wish to stay at the forefront of a constantly advancing field. Matt G. Cognitive decay occurs when a person stops learning. Therefore, re-learning what they think they know edifies. They benefit personally and professionally. Not all Presentations, lectures, training, webinars or seminars are equal; therefore, Continuing Education Certificates will be categorized as Approved Accredited by National and Non-Approved Non-Accredited by National.
The difference is Non-Approved will have an extra-hour of instruction or contact hours to make-up for short falls. Therefore, they are divided in two 2 groups:. Accredited Programs are Agencies with a gold seal and they can be found at www.
Exempt: 1. Enrolled Students at an Accredited College 2. Retirees 3. Professional Engineers 4. Honorary Life-Time Licenses 5. Active Duty Military. If you hold more than one-license then you must have accumulated enough hours for those licenses. Your continuing educational hours must be applicable to your license and there over-lapping applications.
Here is an example:. License-holder has a 3rd Class Stationary HP Steam Engineer's license, which requires 4-hrs per year, and a 2nd Class Chiller license, which requires 3-hrs per year; therefore, heat related CEH would apply to both since both licenses deal with heat. Other example would be instrumentation, water treatment, electricity, and maintenance to mention the most obvious.
What will not likely work is a Chiller Course and applying it to a Gas Turbine. National's records and tracks all continuing educational contact hours for every licensee to keep your license certificate in good standing and current. Your continuing education hours are record on your certificate and can be rolled over, for no-greater period than three-years. If you are a USGC Merchant Marine and Graduate of a Maritime Academy and hold a 3rd, 2nd, 1st, or Chiefs rating for steam and have proper documentation such as Mariner Credentials you are encouraged to submit your application.

The fee for the Stationary High Pressure Steam Engineering are listed in the license application, and engineers can apply for credit on their existing license, which is based on experience and holding a license from recognized State, Municipal, Federal, or Canadian licensing entities.
Getting Credit for Your Jurisdictional License Note: Jurisdictions that have a Stationary Engineer's or Stationary Operating Engineer's license are generally intended for stationary high-pressure steam plants that do not have 'turbine generators', but could have steam driven turbines; therefore, a stationary high-pressure steam engineers license will be issued. An upgrade in jurisdictional license will not upgrade National's license, for the license-holder must take the examination to upgrade National's license.
A Probationary Note: Probationary Probie license from National indicates the license is time-sensitive where the Probie must be in full-time employ during the Probie period in the duties of the license under direct supervision.
The employer or senior license-holder must attest the Probie's employ and competency in duties to be released. Examination Note: There are topics or components that overlap, for instance the Chief's exam has math question, but operations or fuel related question may have additional math questions.
Therefore, the number of topics questions are minimums. Remember, formulas are provided for all math questions regardless of the class license. They must follow procedures to guard against burns, electric shock, noise, dangerous moving parts, and exposure to hazardous materials. Most stationary engineers and boiler operators work full time during regular business hours. In facilities that operate around the clock, engineers and operators may work either one of three 8-hour shifts or one of two hour shifts on a rotating basis.
Because buildings such as hospitals are open days a year and depend on the steam generated by boilers and other machines, many of these workers must work weekends and holidays.
Stationary engineers and boiler operators typically need a high school diploma or equivalent and are trained either on the job or through an apprenticeship program. Stationary engineers and boiler operators need at least a high school diploma. Students should take courses in math, science, and mechanical and technical subjects.
With the growing complexity of the work, vocational school or college courses may benefit workers trying to advance in the occupation. Stationary engineers and boiler operators typically learn their work through long-term on-the-job training under the supervision of an experienced engineer or operator. Trainees are assigned basic tasks, such as monitoring the temperatures and pressures in the heating and cooling systems and low-pressure boilers. After they demonstrate competence in basic tasks, trainees move on to more complicated tasks, such as the repair of cracks or ruptured tubes for high-pressure boilers.
Some stationary engineers and boiler operators complete apprenticeship programs sponsored by the International Union of Operating Engineers. Apprenticeships usually last 4 years, include 8, hours of on-the-job training, and require hours of technical instruction.
Apprentices learn about operating and maintaining equipment; using controls and balancing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning HVAC systems; safety; electricity; and air quality. Employers may prefer to hire these workers because they usually require considerably less on-the-job training.
However, because of the limited number of apprenticeship programs, employers often have difficulty finding workers who have completed one. Experienced stationary engineers and boiler operators update their skills regularly through training, especially when new equipment is introduced or when regulations change. Some state and local governments require licensure for stationary engineers and boiler operators. These governments typically have several classes of stationary engineer and boiler operator licenses.
Each class specifies the type and size of equipment the engineer is permitted to operate without supervision. Many employers require stationary engineers and boiler operators to demonstrate competency through licenses or company-specific exams before they are allowed to operate the equipment without supervision.
A top-level engineer or operator is qualified to run a large facility, supervise others, and operate equipment of all types and capacities. Engineers and operators with licenses below this level are limited in the types or capacities of equipment they may operate without supervision.
Applicants for licensure usually must meet experience requirements and pass a written exam. In some cases, employers may require that workers be licensed before starting the job. A stationary engineer or boiler operator who moves from one state or city to another may have to pass an examination for a new license because of regional differences in licensing requirements.
Generally, stationary engineers and boiler operators can advance as they become qualified to operate larger, more powerful, and more varied equipment by obtaining higher class licenses. In jurisdictions where licenses are not required, workers usually advance by taking company-administered exams, ensuring a level of knowledge needed to operate different types of boilers safely. Detail oriented. Stationary engineers and boiler operators monitor intricate machinery, gauges, and meters to ensure that everything is operating properly.
Stationary engineers and boiler operators must use precise motions to control or repair machines. They grasp tools and use their hands to perform many tasks.
Mechanical skills. Stationary engineers and boiler operators must know how to use tools and work with machines. They must be able to repair, maintain, and operate equipment. Problem-solving skills. Stationary engineers and boiler operators must figure out how things work and quickly solve problems that arise with equipment or controls.
