Required Training for License Renewal

Journeyman and contractors must complete 12 credit hours of continuing education (CE) every three years before their license or registration certificate expires.

State-approved CE must include the following:

  • Six hours covering code updates and revisions
  • Six hours of other trade subjects approved by the Electrical Committee

Apprentices need to take three hours of CE each year to renew their registration. This education requirement is only waived if the applicant is a student at an approved trade school or is currently completing training when renewing.

With our state-approved online courses, you can complete these requirements around your schedule.

Approved EO topics include:

  • Circuit theory and calculations
  • Wiring methods
  • Grounding and bonding
  • Transformer and motor theory
  • Circuits and devices
  • Control systems
  • Alternative energy systems
  • NFPA 70E safety
  • Manufacturers' installation of equipment or parts

Renewing an Expired License

Failing to meet the education requirement before your license expiration date results in the following:

  • An expired license means you can no longer perform any high-voltage commercial work. If you do, the CIB will charge you with a misdemeanor and fine you anywhere between $200 and $1,000.
  • You have a 30-day grace period to finish your CE and submit the relevant application. After 30 days, the registration fee increases to $100.
  • After one year with an expired license, it can no longer be renewed. You must submit a new application and pass the exam again.

After Finishing Your CE

Once you've passed all comprehension quizzes and/or final tests, you get immediate access to a downloadable certificate of completion. We also send one to the email address associated with your JADE Learning account.

We report your completions to the CIB for you, so this document is for your personal records. We do not submit license renewal applications for you.

Completed courses are available for 180 days from your student account.

“It's super convenient and the way that it explains everything like the code book with pictures makes it super easy.”
