Texas Electrician Continuing Education

The four hours Texas asks for each year, in one course worth your time: the National Electrical Code, Texas law and rules, and NFPA 70E safety — taught to make you sharper with the code book, not just current on paper.

  • •Approved by the state. Trade Code Solutions is a registered continuing-education provider with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), and this course carries TDLR's approval — the four hours count.
  • •Watch, learn, done. Texas measures this course in instruction time, not a test. Finish all four hours and you're done — no exam at the end.
  • •We handle the paperwork. Your completion is reported to TDLR for you within days, and your certificate of completion is issued as soon as you finish.
  • •Built by a Texas master electrician's company. Current-code instruction checked line-by-line against the published standards — the NEC edition Texas has adopted, the Texas Occupations Code, and NFPA 70E-2024.

One sitting or many — your progress saves. Certificate of completion included. Your annual license renewal fee is paid to the State of Texas separately.

How it works

The course plays in order, start to finish — that's how Texas wants continuing education delivered, and it's how your hours hold up if the state ever asks. Along the way, we'll pause a few times and ask you to confirm your name and license number, so the record shows it was you in the seat the whole time.

When your four hours are complete, two things happen: your certificate of completion is issued to you, and your completion is reported to TDLR — you don't file anything yourself. Keep a copy of your certificate for one year; that's the state's rule for licensees.

Have your license number handy when you enroll — we ask for it at checkout so your hours are reported to the state against the right license.

Four hours, three subjects

Exactly what Texas requires each year — the code, the law, and safety — in the order that makes sense on the job.

  1. 1 hourTexas Electrician Law and Rules. Who must be licensed, your duties as a license holder, how continuing education is reported and audited, the electrical code Texas has adopted, and how enforcement actually works.
  2. 2 hoursThe National Electrical Code. The NEC edition Texas has adopted, taught where you use it: general requirements, branch circuits and GFCI/AFCI protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods and conductor sizing, devices and equipment — and what changed in the current edition.
  3. 1 hourElectrical Safety in the Workplace. NFPA 70E-2024: the electrical safety program, establishing an electrically safe work condition, and arc-flash risk assessment with the right protective equipment.

Who it's for

Every Texas electrician license that renews on continuing education — one course covers you, whichever you hold:

  • •Master and Journeyman Electricians.
  • •Journeyman Industrial Electricians and Journeyman Linemen.
  • •Residential Wiremen and Maintenance Electricians.
  • •Master and Journeyman Sign Electricians.
  • •Apprentices who renew on continuing education rather than a registered apprenticeship program.

Hold more than one Texas license? Texas asks for a single four hours per year no matter how many you hold — this one course covers them all.

Four hours that make you better at the code book.

State-approved, reported for you, certificate on completion. Real instruction from the published standards — not a slideshow to click past.
