Consider taking your Continuing Education with CECA to support YOUR industry. – CECA is a Nonprofit Trade Association that supports your Electrical Industry in many ways, offering continuing education, supporting Apprentice Events, having a member on the NC Electrical Licensing Board, having a lobbyist in Raleigh to monitor and influence what the legislature does that affects the electrical industry, the construction industry and small businesses. Turn to us with questions, ask for assistance in the electrical industry.

Check Your NC Continuing Education Credits
For NC Licensees one-half of continuing education requirements must be obtained by an in-person classroom or seminar setting. The other half of continuing education hours may be obtained by other means, such as online testing, mail order tests, etc. Licensees may carry forward continuing education credit hours for use in two future license periods. If you need 8 hours of continuing education per year, we suggest that you take 2 of our online or mail order tests (4 hours each) along with an 8 hour class for a total of 16 credit hours that will cover 2 years of continuing education requirements.

Tim has taught classes at CPCC (Central Piedmont Community College) since 1981. He also taught classes for homeowners on how to wire their own homes.
