North Carolina Electrical Continuing Education
Our courses are approved by the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors and help fulfill continuing education (CE) requirements. Electrical contractors can only complete half of their CE hours online. To help with the other half, we partnered with JADE Learning to offer our students in-person and virtual instructor-led training opportunities. Once you finish your course, we provide an official certificate of completion for your records. Learn more about our state reporting service here.
