Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 16, § 437 - Individual Examination

(a) Individual examinations for licensure, certification, or authorization shall be either oral or written or a combination of both, in the discretion of the Board. They may be held at times and places convenient to the Board.

(b) An applicant for licensure as a professional engineer or as a land surveyor will be considered for assignment to an individual examination provided his/her qualifications meet all the requirements of the code and rules of the Board and provided he/she holds a valid registration or license as a professional engineer or as a land surveyor in another state in the same branch in which he/she is applying; such registration or license having been obtained by passing written examinations of comparable standard to those examinations required in California.

(c) An applicant for authority to use the title "structural engineer" may be considered for the individual examination only if he/she has passed a 16-hour examination in another state which the Board may deem equivalent to the written examination for structural authority given in California. This 16-hour examination shall have been in addition to the regular examination series for registration or licensure as a professional engineer and shall have contained significant emphasis on seismic design and lateral load considerations.
