Continuing Education and CEH Opportunities

Below are listed various educational opportunities for geology. These programs are not limited to Professional Geologists, they are open for anyone with an interest in learning more about the various facets of geology. For Professional Geologists, these are opportunities to gain Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) and are provided with the following caveats:

  • The New Hampshire Joint Board does not pre-approve any activity for CEHs.
  • Guidance on the criteria that continuing education activities must meet is located in the Code of Administrative Rules, Part Geo 403. The continuing education requirements can be found at: www.state.nh.us/jtboard/geoce.htm. A Generic Activity Form and Continuing Education Activity Log are located at: www.state.nh.us/jtboard/pgce.htm
  • GSNH has not evaluated any of the activities that are sponsored by other organizations. This list is simply provided as a service to Professional Geologists seeking opportunities to gain CEH.
