New Jersey 34 hours code refresh

[Fordean]

I see in wordings. 10 hours code NEC course. Mandatory.

But I see no where the additional 24 hours is mandatory.

Anyone have any insight on this.

New Jersey Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors Law 45:5A-13.1 through 13.3

With all of the issues surrounding covid and cancelled CEU classes the Board should extend the end date or modify the number of hours required for renewal.

Dam, and I thought we had it bad in MA at 21hrs. How often do you have to update?

Yowza! Here in VA, we have to do a 3-hour code refresher for continuing education requirements every two years.

I can usually get through it online in about 2.5 hours, it costs around $40, and they notify DPOR when I pass.

We do CEU 34 hours every 3 years. I think the deadline is may of 2021.

Yes the biggest scam going. Electrical inspectors are only required to do 15 hours every three years in NJ and it's paid for by the State. The EC has to pay for his own CEU's typically about $750-$1000 every 3 year years.

The in person code classes that are being held seem to have gone up in price. I usually go to the IAEI meetings every year plus one or two others. Twelve hours every two years. I keep telling myself this is my last renewal.

You're lucky you're not paying Bergen County prices.

I think that with the online CEU's they're actually a little cheaper this year.

As an Inspector I have to do 20 hours because I have a Sub Code License.

Yes me too, an extra 5 hours of administration update for the sub-code official license.

I started my virtual CEU classes and have enrolled in enough of them to have my 34 hours completed by March 31. Pretty simple process with all the comfort of your own home. Hopefully online learning is here to stay in NJ.

Renewal year at end of calendar year here. They said earlier in the year they were not modifying renewal requirements, mostly because of the number of on line courses that are available, and there was still something like 8 months left to be able to do so when they made this announcement.
