North Carolina General Contractors Continuing Education
Once you obtain a General Contractor license, the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors (NCLBGC) requires 8 hours of continuing education each year for license renewal. Two of the hours must be a state-specified course, and the other 6 hours can be from elective courses. All of the North Carolina Contractor Continuing Education courses we offer are state-approved, so when it comes time to renew your license you will be compliant with the most recent state requirements.
North Carolina General Contractors should note that the CE year begins on January 1st and ends November 30th. To complete the 2 hour Mandatory Course produced by the board, you are able to take one of our live webinars. If needed, the remaining elective hours can be taken in a self-paced, online format.
What courses are available for me to take online?
Our online North Carolina Contractor continuing education is designed to improve your industry knowledge by keeping you up to date on the latest regulations and trends in the construction industry. We offer the 2 hour mandatory course and a variety of elective courses in an online format, so you can renew your license completely from home. Also, if you find a better original price on any online course that we offer, we will beat it by 10%.
