Questions about this course
Do electrical contractors need continuing education?
No. TDLR does not require CE for contractors or residential appliance installers. Individual electrician licenses do.
I hold more than one electrician license. Do I need 8 hours?
No. One set of 4 hours counts for all of them, as long as the hours fall within the term of the license you are renewing.
Can I take only code hours?
No. If all 4 hours were code only, TDLR requires at least one more hour in the law, the rules or NFPA 70E. Our course covers all four topics.
Can I repeat a course I already took?
Not for credit. TDLR does not count the same course twice.
How long do I keep the certificate?
Keep it for one year after you finish. A TDLR inspector may ask for it.
