About this course

About this courseWhat it is and how it counts

Course · Florida-Approved · 1 CE Hour

One hour toward the business-practices requirement on your Florida electrical contractor renewal, built on the Florida Construction Lien Law, part I of chapter 713, Florida Statutes — the notice of commencement, the notice to owner, the claim of lien, the deadlines that decide whether a lien holds, and what makes a lien fraudulent.

The Florida requirementHow this counts toward Florida’s 11 hours

Florida asks for 11 classroom hours every two years: one hour of business practices, one hour of workers' compensation, one hour of workplace safety, one hour of Florida laws and rules, and seven technical hours — one of which has to be a Florida Building Commission-approved advanced module on the Florida Building Code.

This course is 1 of those 11 hours, in the business practices category. Trade Code Solutions' seven approved Florida courses add up to 11 hours and count for 10 of the 11 Florida requires: the eleventh has to be the Florida Building Code advanced module, which is not a Trade Code Solutions course yet. The Florida Building Code advanced module has to come from a course the Florida Building Commission approved. TCS lines one up for you with your renewal.
