EXTRA 6 HOURS CLASSES


I received confirmation from the Division of Professional Licensure in Boston. The Professional Development classes (additional 6 hour classes) will no longer be required to be processed through a provider. The DPL is going back to the previous system of randomly auditing MA license holders during the renewal process. The CMR is below. Any questions give me a call.

237 CMR 17.01
(b) Class A and B Licensees engaging in electrical work within Massachusetts shall complete a course of study which shall consist of 15 clock hours of instruction given by Board-approved providers focusing on the then in effect edition of the Massachusetts Electrical Code, 527 CMR 12.00, as adopted by the Board, and other rules, regulations and topics. Class A and B Licensees who reside outside Massachusetts shall complete 15 clock hours focusing on the electrical code then in effect and adopted by the jurisdiction in which they reside. In addition to the 15 clock hours of instruction noted above, six additional hours shall be completed and may be in a areas chosen by the licensee for professional development in the subjects of electrical code, business, law, first aid, safety and building code and related topics. It shall be the licensee’s responsibility to ensure that their provider has been approved by the Board.
