Information for continuing education providers
|
| Beginning July 1, 2006, new administrative rules implement HB 2181,
a bill that streamlined and standardized boiler, electrical, elevator,
and plumbing licensing processes. Among other things, the rules require
continuing education providers to electronically submit course information
and rosters using course numbers and spreadsheets provided by the division. |

| New administrative
processes for continuing ed providers: |
- Application for course or instructor approval may take place any
time during a code cycle.
- Courses and instructors are approved for the duration of a code
cycle (typically three years).
- Instructors may apply for approval as part of the course approval
process or may apply independent of the course approval process.
- Code-change classes: Either a board or the division develops content
requirements for these courses for each code cycle.
- Code-change classes can be taken-and the credit counted-any time
during the three-year renewal cycle.

| New reporting
procedures for continuing ed providers |
- Instructors must submit attendee rosters to BCD electronically
in an Excel spreadsheet.
- BCD no longer accepts original rosters, copies of rosters, e-mails
listing attendees, or any format other than the Excel spreadsheet
mentioned above.
- Providers must document course completion and give proof to each
attendee.
- For multi-part courses, instructors are required to send in the
names of individuals only after they have completed all of the parts
of the course, unless parts or a combination of parts are approved
separately.
- A civil penalty may be issued or other action taken, including
revocation of approval of a continuing education course or instructor,
for failure to meet the requirements of Division 035.

| Continuing

time during the 3-year renewal cycle.

to complete either 24, 16, eight, four or zero hours of continuing
education.
