" Understanding geology licensure in California: PG, CEG, CHg, and PGp:
How to apply, serve as a reference, and avoid common violations. "
Speaker: JOSH GOODWIN, PG, CEG
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 of the Business and Professions Code, and give 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. Finally, bring any
burning questions you may have regarding licensing authority and the Board's view on all
topics related to the practice.
Josh Goodwin, PG, CEG, is the Senior Registrar for Geology
and Geophysics at the California Board for Professional
Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists (BPELSG or the
Board). His 25 years of experience includes working as a
consultant practicing environmental and engineering
geology, working for the Division of Mine Reclamation
evaluating slope stability and water quality, and working as a
Senior Engineering Geologist for the California Geological
Survey, overseeing mapping projects for construction
aggregate, critical minerals, naturally occurring asbestos,
and geological sources of radon.
