Instructions for Completing the Application for
Continuing Education Course/Seminar Approval
Prior to renewing his/her license in 2015, a licensee will be required to have taken a total of 34 hours of continuing
education during the triennial cycle of 2012-2015. This 34 hours of continuing education must consist of nine (9)
hours of Code; one (1) hour of Law; and 24 hours of trade-related subjects. You may view all applicable regulations
elsewhere on this website (N.J.A.C. 13:31-1.7, Continuing Education Requirements).
The Board appreciates your interest in sponsoring, specically, course(s)/seminar(s) which relate to the area termed
“trade-related subjects.” Below is an Application for Continuing Education Course/Seminar Approval. Please
provide all of the information requested; note that this application provides space for a total of four (4) specic
courses, but if that is not enough room to include all of the courses you wish to teach, the application may be
reproduced. You must provide a course title, a brief course description and the instructor’s name for each course/
seminar. You are also requested to provide information relating to the length of time necessary to complete the
course/seminar. Be sure to attach a detailed course outline for each course/seminar you wish to teach and a copy
of the resume/curriculum vitae for each instructor you list.
Please note that pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:31-1.6, Fee Schedule, a sponsor is required to submit with his/her
application a Continuing Education Sponsor Fee in the amount of $200.00. Your certied check or money order
should be made payable to the “State of New Jersey.” Whether you are seeking Board approval for one (1) course
or numerous courses, only one (1) check for $200.00 is required, but only IF you submit all of your courses for
approval at the same time. In other words, if you subsequently come back to the Board with additional courses
and/or instructors for which you are seeking approval, you will be required to pay another Continuing Education
Sponsor Fee ($200.00). This “all-at-one-time submission” concept is to encourage sponsors to submit everything
at one time so that the Board can review the entire package. Your check must be included with your Application
for Continuing Education Course/Seminar Approval.
Please be aware that a sponsor of a course or program offering which has been previously approved by the Board
shall reapply to the Board for approval of the course or program if there are any changes to the course content,
hours of instruction or course lecturer. The sponsor shall resubmit to the Board the documentation and continuing
education sponsor fee. If there are no changes in course content, hours of instruction or course lecturer for a
previously approved course or program, the sponsor shall not be required to reapply to the Board for approval
prior to offering the course or program in subsequent renewal periods.
Please also be advised that the Board does not allow a quiz/exam to be part of the instructional hours and should
not be a requirement in order for the licensee to receive a certicate. Additionally, please do not request courses
in half-hour increments, as the Board only approves full-hour increments.
To avoid delay, please review your application and entire submission for completeness. Please feel free to contact
the Board if you have any questions regarding the application process for teaching continuing education. You may
contact the Board’s staff at (973) 504-6410.
Thank you for your interest in teaching continuing education. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors
