1 hour toward your Florida renewal, filed with the state for you.

Course · Florida-Approved · 1 CE Hour

One hour toward the Florida laws-and-rules requirement on your electrical contractor renewal, taken from chapters 455 and 489, Part II, Florida Statutes, and rule division 61G6 of the Florida Administrative Code — the renewal hours, the two kinds of electrical contractor license, who answers for a licensed business, and what the statutes prohibit.

Fla. Stat. chs. 455 + 489 and F.A.C. 61G6

• How it is delivered. Delivered as interactive distance education: pre-recorded video, an instructor of record you can ask questions, identity verification, and a graded final.

• •How Florida's renewal works: eleven hours every two years in five categories, and the fifty-minute classroom hour.
• •The difference between a certified and a registered electrical contractor — anywhere in the state versus only the jurisdiction that issued the registration — and what adding a second area takes.
• •Who the license belongs to: the qualifying agent's shared responsibility for the business, and the sixty-day clocks that start when an agent stops qualifying it.
• •What section 489.531 prohibits, why aiding an unlicensed person is a ground against your own license, and why an unlicensed contractor cannot enforce its contracts.

Is this course approved in Florida?

Yes. Approved by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board for online delivery — provider 0010783, course CRS5168, 1 hour. Approved on October 7, 2026; the approval runs through May 31, 2027.

How many of Florida's 11 renewal hours does this cover?

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 hours, in the Florida laws and rules 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.

Can I take this course online?

Yes — it is approved by DBPR for online delivery, which is how it was filed. Delivered as interactive distance education: pre-recorded video, an instructor of record you can ask questions, identity verification, and a graded final.

Is there an exam at the end?

Yes. Florida sets a multiple-choice final exam at a 75% passing score for a course delivered this way (rule 61G6-9.003(7), Florida Administrative Code). Retake the same exam if you need to.

What if I don't finish in one sitting?

Your progress saves, so you can take the course in one sitting or several. Florida allows no partial credit. The course counts when you finish it, start to end.
