Contractor Education
In order to maintain your contractor license, every Qualified Individual must complete a minimum of eight hours of continuing education per license classification, as required by the Contractor Licensing Review Board each calendar year.
View contractor education opportunities below, including single-day sessions, last-chance education and a list of approved classes.
Last-Chance Education (Fee-Based)
Last-Chance Education will be held in November, December, January and February only. The fee for last chance education is $30 per credit hour.
Once class titles and code credit have been assigned, sign-up for last-chance education classes will be made available in the contractor portal at cls.jocogov.org.
Please Note: Due to the growing number of concerns regarding the availability of applicable classes, we have implemented a two-week Pre-Registration process for licensees which includes a self-enrollment maximum, that is directly related to the number of licenses you hold. For example, if you have one license, your maximum is eight hours (the minimum continuing education requirement for Johnson County contractor license holders). If you hold two licenses, your maximum is 16 hours, and so on. Please send your request for additional enrollment to contractor.education@jocogov.org.
