Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Can I begin my Continuing Education today?
ANSWER: Yes, you can begin your next round of 32-hour Continuing Education the day after your certification card renews. The State allows three years to complete the CE requirements and one year prior to mailing the renewal application.
The DIR has a zero-tolerance policy for late applications and will revoke your certification unless your paperwork is postmarked on or before your due date.
QUESTION – FOR EXISTING STUDENTS: I completed your 32-hour Continuing Education program. When do I receive my certificate of completion?
ANSWER: You will receive your certificate of completion, the renewal application, and full instructions for submitting your paperwork to the DIR via e-mail within 24 hours of completing your lessons. Please call us at 866-685-8564 if you do not receive your certificate.
QUESTION: How often am I required to renew my certification card?
ANSWER: You are required to renew your certification every three years from the date of issuance. Your certificate will automatically expire if you do not complete 32 hours of state-approved continuing education. A reminder notice may not be issued, so ALWAYS refer to your certification card for your expiration date.
QUESTION: How soon before my journeyman card is set to expire can I mail my renewal application and certificate of completion to the State?
ANSWER: You can now submit your paperwork to the DIR one year before your card is set to expire!
QUESTION: Can I complete my continuing education using this website?
ANSWER: Yes, Electrical Certification Consultants is an approved continuing education provider in California.
QUESTION: How do I prove that I have met the 2000 hours of work in the industry requirement?
ANSWER: No actual proof is required. However, if you check box #3 on your application, you are stating that you have acquired 2,000 hours in the industry and signing under penalty of perjury that your statement is true and correct.
QUESTION: What happens if I do not complete my continuing education on time?
ANSWER: If you are renewing after your card expires, you do not need to fulfill the 32-hour requirement for continuing education. You must retake the state exam and pass, or you will be illegally working.
