Who the PDH Café Is For

The PDH Café is built for professionals who need to stay compliant without committing to a full certification program every time they log in. It's for environmental and stormwater professionals juggling inspections, reporting, and fieldwork. It's for municipal and public works staff who need reliable continuing education that fits into real workdays.

It's for safety managers, operators, inspectors, consultants, and project managers who are responsible for staying current -

but don't have time for long, drawn-out courses.

And it's especially for those moments we all know too well: the  end-of-year PDH crunch. when renewal deadlines are approaching and you just need quality hours you can complete quickly and confidently.

If your role requires annual Professional Development Hours for licensure, professional standing, or employer requirements,

the PDH Café was designed to make meeting those requirements easier - without added stress.
