Continuing Education Hours Tracker

Track your completed continuing education (CE) hours and determine how many more you need to meet your contractor license renewal requirements.

Formulas Used

Remaining General Hours = max(0, Required Hours − Completed Hours)

Remaining Safety Hours = max(0, Safety Required − Safety Completed)

Remaining Law/Code Hours = max(0, Law Required − Law Completed)

Effective Hours Remaining = max(General Remaining, Safety Gap + Law/Code Gap)

Courses Needed = ⌈ Effective Hours Remaining ÷ Avg Hours per Course ⌉

Monthly Pace Required = Effective Hours Remaining ÷ Months Until Renewal

Completion % = (Completed Hours ÷ Required Hours) × 100

Assumptions & References

  • CE hour requirements vary by state and license type; enter your specific state board requirements.
  • Many states (e.g., California CSLB, Florida DBPR, Texas TDLR) mandate sub-category hours for safety, law, and business practices within the total CE requirement.
  • Sub-category hours (safety, law/code) are counted as part of the total required hours, not in addition to them.
  • Effective remaining hours accounts for the worst case: you may need more than the general gap if sub-requirements are unmet.
  • Courses are assumed to be uniform in length equal to the average hours per course entered.
  • Carryover of excess CE hours into the next renewal cycle depends on state rules and is not modeled here.
  • References: NASCLA, individual state contractor licensing boards, and OSHA 10/30 hour training standards.
