I have had several calls from contractors looking for Continuing Education classes. If you have a Palm Beach County license and are renewing your PBC license send them your CEU’s from last two years (2019 and 2020) that you got for the state renewal last year. The State of Florida does not have a renewal this year its next year 2022. We will be back in class giving CEU classes this December. If you renew with the State next year you are ONLY REQUIRED to get 11 hours if you have an EC or ER license, and 7 hours for all other specialty licenses for the State. One of the problems with this new requirement is the State only wants 11 or 7 hours, but Palm beach County still wants 14 hours. So in order to renew in PBC you will have to get extra hours not required by the State.
So starting in December we will be offering the 11 hrs. required by the State plus the other 3 required by Palm Beach County if you need them.
Below is the list of “STATE” required hours for our trade as of July 1, 2020.
Effective July 1, 2020 a licensee must complete the following continuing education prior to renewal:
Certified Electrical Contractors (EC) = 11 hours of Continuing Education
1 hour workers’ compensation
1 hour workplace safety
1 hour business practices
1 hour Florida Laws & Rules
7 hours of Technical to include – 1 hour Florida Building Code advanced module course and 2 hours false alarm prevention for all certified electrical contractors who perform alarm work
Registered Electrical Contractors (ER) = 11 hours of Continuing Education
1 hour workers’ compensation
1 hour workplace safety
1 hour business practices
1 hour Florida Laws & Rules
7 hours of Technical to include – 1 hour Florida Building Code advanced module course
Certified and Registered Alarm Contractors = 7 hours of Continuing Education
