Any Ohio citizen who is applying for a contractor license or renewing an expired license is required by law to complete the number of CE hours necessary for renewal. If you are currently licensed but have not renewed your license for three years or more, you will be required to take 12 hours of continuing education to renew your Ohio license.
Ohio’s Contractor Continuing Education requires that every licensee in Ohio complete a certain number of CE hours each year, depending on when their last renewal was completed and what type of certification they have.
To renew your license, you must complete at least 12 hours of approved continuing education. Once you have completed the 12 hours, you can renew your license online through Ohio’s website. You will also be notified via email when your license has been renewed.
If you are a new applicant, then the amount of continuing education required depends on whether or not your Ohio license has previously been renewed. If it was previously renewed, then you will only need 8 hours of approved continuing education. Rocketcert will gladly assist you with completing the required hours and will issue you an approval notice after we review your attendance.
CE Requirements
If the last renewal of your Ohio license was within the past three years, then you must complete at least 8 hours to renew your license. If you were previously licensed, then you will only need to complete 4 hours to renew your license.
If your license has lasted for more than 3 years, then you must take 16 hours of continuing education to renew. You will also need to purchase the “Contractors License Renewal” form on the Ohio Contractors Board website. Once you receive the form, you will need to fill it out and mail it in along with a copy of your certificate of insurance, and payment. Once your form has been reviewed by the state, you will be issued an approval letter which can be used as proof of completion for your contractor continuing education.
