Starting with Session 16, our courses feature instructor-led videos that give you the classroom experience right from your living room.

Our earlier sessions feature optional audio narration recorded by a professional. No computer voice. No echo. Just a soft, pleasant voice to read to you, if you choose.

Licensed Plumbers and Gas Fitters must complete subsequent sessions, cannot repeat a previous completed session, and must be current on CEs according to sessions sequence (7,8,9,10, etc.).

FAQs:

Failure by a Licensee to Complete (MCE) Mandatory Continuing Education Requirement.

  1. Any licensee who does not complete the required clock hours of continuing education within the license renewal cycle shall be responsible for completing makeup classes covering the Board approved material for the continuing education missed.
  2. In addition to any makeup classes, all licensees who fail to complete continuing education requirements for any renewal cycle shall be subject to Board review and disciplinary action that may include, but not be limited to the issuance of fines, denial of a request for renewal, re-examination, suspension or revocation of existing licenses, and denial of applications for additional licenses. The Board is under no obligation to warn a licensee of non-compliance with continuing education requirements prior to commencing disciplinary action, however, said action shall be subject to any hearings required by law.

Reinstatement of Lapsed/Expired/Suspended Licenses.

  1. Licensees who have failed to renew their licenses must fill out any applications required by the Board and must pay any back or late fees prior to board consideration.
  2. Licensees whose licenses have lapsed/expired must meet the following additional requirements for reinstating their licenses:
    1. If expired for six years or less, licensees must complete all continuing education hours prior to applying to reinstate their license.
    2. If expired for more than six years, licensees must complete the continuing education hours for the current renewal cycle and pass the full Board examination for their highest level license prior to being reinstated.
    3. Without special Board approval, no waivers of continuing education granted under any other section of 248 CMR 11.00 shall apply for purposes of reinstating a lapsed or expired license.
  3. Unless a decision or consent agreement explicitly states otherwise, licensees who are suspended are subject to the same provisions as licensees who are expired and must complete any continuing education or examination requirements in order to qualify for reinstating their licenses. The Board may also remove a licensee's eligibility for waivers or exemptions of continuing education requirements as part of sanctions related to a disciplinary action.
  4. 248 CMR 11.04(5) shall not be deemed to sanction unlicensed practice. An individual practicing with an expired or suspended license may face disciplinary action up to and including revocation of the right to renew that license.
