Last-Chance Education (Fee-Based)

Last-Chance Education will be held at the Johnson County Administration Building in November, December, January and February only.

Please Note:

Due to the growing number of concerns regarding the availability of applicable classes, we have imposed a maximum number of hours that you can enroll in on your own, which is directly related to the number of licenses you hold. For example, if you have one license, your maximum is eight hours. 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.
