This presentation will provide valuable information for geologists seeking licensure and will assist current licensees acting as references for applicants. The talk will cover various topics including, what “responsible charge” means for geologists, common violations, and an overview of the online application and renewal process through the BPELSG Connect system. We will discuss California’s requirements for the Professional Geologist (PG) license and Geologist in Training (GIT) certificate, including a summary of education requirements and properly documenting qualifying work experience. We will also review the requirements for the engineering geology (CEG) and hydrogeology (CHg) certifications, and the Professional Geophysicist (PGp) license. |
