Florida Contractors Must Continue Their Education
In Florida, as a contractor, you have to keep up with your education and further your education. Every two years, you must complete 14 hours of Construction Industry Licensing Board approved education courses (CEU) before you renew your license. This is true for both certified and registered contractors.
Why is this necessary? These courses help keep you abreast the latest in the field and help keep you competitive against people who are just entering the industry with the newest knowledge.
According to the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR), your courses have to be specific. As a contractor, you must complete at least one hour about workplace safety, one hour on worker’s compensation, one hour on business practices, one hour on Florida laws and rules, two hours of false alarm prevention (for alarm contractors and electrical contractors who perform alarm work), and one hour on Florida Building Code advanced modules.
Your other seven course hours will be about the specific type of technical contracting work you do (electrical, construction, home inspector, mold).
