Continuing Education Requirements to Renew a MA Construction Supervisor License
As a licensed construction supervisor in the state of Massachusetts, you must complete either 10 or 12 hours of continuing education every two-years, depending on your classification (see below).

- Unrestricted construction supervisors: 12 hours
- Construction supervisor restricted to one and two-family dwellings: 10 hours
- Speciality construction supervisor (e.g., licensed in masonry or insulation): 6 hours
Per Section R5.4.2, your continuing education credits need to include:
- 4 hours of code review for unrestricted and restricted CS licenses, 2 hours of code review for specialty CSLs
- 1 hour on workplace safety
- 1 hour on business practices and workers’ compensation
- 1 hour on energy (unless you have a demolition specialty license)
- If it’s your first renewal cycle, you also need one hour on lead safe practices.
