All journeyman and residential specialty plumbers must obtain 16 hours of continuing education within a two-year renewal cycle. Plumber trainees must complete 8 of the required 16 hours every year. All of these required courses must be taken within the renewal cycle.

Within each two-year cycle, you must complete:

• A minimum of 8 hours of Plumbing Code (Code), plus
• A minimum of 4 hours of Industry-Related Electrical (IRE), plus
• 4 additional hours from Code, IRE or Industry-related Plumbing (IRP)

If you do not complete the required continuing education by the time of your renewal, your certificate will not be renewed.  Working with an expired license is not allowed by law, and you and your employer may be assessed an infraction for this violation.  Plumbers who have not completed the requirements by the time of their renewal will be subject to a double fee.  Retesting will be required if the training is not completed within 90 days of expiration.  Trainees will not receive credit for hours while the card remains in an expired status.
