Continuing Education Requirements: |
Licensees are required to complete 14 hours of board-approved continuing education each biennium prior to the end of the renewal cycle. A licensee will not be able to renew his/her license until all continuing education requirements have been met.
The 14 hour requirement must include the following subjects:
- 7 hours of Technical Education
- 1 hour of Workers Compensation Education
- 1 hour of Workplace Safety Education
- 1 hour of Business Practices
- 1 hour of Advanced Building Code Module
- 2 hours of False Alarm Prevention (Only for Alarm Contractors and Electrical Contractors who perform alarm work.)
The remaining hours may cover general subject matter.
All licensees are required to take the 4-hour Building Code Core Course within 2 years of initial licensure. This is a one-time requirement. The Building Code Core Course is not a renewal requirement; however, the hours may be applied to your required continuing education.
If a person gets their Contractor's License and it is within 12 months of the Florida Due Date then they do not have to have CEU's that cycle. If a person gets their Contractor's License and it is between 12 months - 24 months of the Florida Due Date then they are required to have 7 (General) Hours CEU that cycle. *Keep in mind that they receive 4 Hours for the Core Course
This is a link to the Online Core Course that the DCA (Department of Community Affairs) offers. They are the only people that offer this course online.
http://www.floridabuilding.org/BCISOld/tr/tr_trai_regi.asp
You may only receive credit for taking a course one time during any renewal cycle – duplicate courses will not be credited toward your requirements.
If you grandfathered your registered license during this renewal cycle, you are required to complete all 14 hours of continuing education.

Other Licenses: |
The 2007 Nevada Legislature enacted legislation to allow the Nevada State Contractors Board to renew licenses biennially (every two years), instead of annually. The change will begin with licenses that expire in January 2008.
The Board plans to phase in the transition to two-year renewals. Therefore, certain licensees will renew for two years in 2008, while others will renew for only one. The transition will be complete in 2009. Contractors will receive notification concerning their new renewal date in the 2008 license renewal application.

Notes: |
The Ohio Board of Building Standards (OBBS) voted to approve rules to revert back, or that is, extend Governor Ted Strickland’s emergency order to adopt the 2005 National Electrical Code® for all 1, 2, & 3 family dwellings instead of the 2008 edition of the NEC, which had been previously adopted by the OBBS.
This means that the State of Ohio has adopted the 2008 NEC for all electrical installations including industrial, commercial, multi-family (4 or more dwelling units) and other similar installations while utilizing the 2005 NEC for all 1, 2, and 3 family dwelling units.
