Continuing Education Association Chapter Meetings

The Association schedules two chapter meetings each year for Code Continuing Education. The meetings are in February and October at each of the 9 chapters across the state. The February and October meetings have different topics taken from the currently approved International Mechanical Code or business or technical issues. Licensees receive 2 hours of Code Continuing Education for each class. Contractor / dealer members of the association may attend or send 1 person to each class for free.

The cost is included in contractor membership dues. Additional attendees from the contractor/dealer pay a small fee. It actually costs less to have the tech, installer, and other employees join the Association under the umbrella of the contractor. It only costs $50 per year per employee. The meal is included, so attendees have the opportunity to meet, greet, and eat while they get their 2 hours of Continuing Education which is part of the required 8 hours per code cycle for license renewal. Non-members are also encouraged to attend for a small fee.
