3M Fire Stopping Course online. This is FREE!!!
If you are interested, you can go to the 3M website and register.
https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/building-construction-us/resources/firestop-training/
You will get a conformation email in a couple days. 24-48 hours is typical.

Once you receive the conformation email you will log in and go to the Course Catalog:
Complete Lessons 1 and 2 if you are an Inside Wireman.
Complete Lessons 1 and 5 if you are an Installer Tech.
You will also go to the last item in building and construction “How to view transcripts and print certificates”. You will email me the certificate for each course, that can be found under activities, click on the certificate symbol to the left of the On Demand Course title,

I know this seems like a lot of info. Just take your time and go through the steps. It took me about an hour to go through the course.

I believe this will need to be completed on your computer not a device.

This will count towards 1 hour of the extra 6 hours needed for Massachusetts.

Do you have any questions?

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.
