Course Description:
The State of Minnesota Board of Electricity requires that technicians doing electrical work in a residence or commercial building must hold an Electricians License. This includes low voltage systems, such as telecommunications voice or data circuits, which requires the individual to have a Low Voltage Electrical License. The License is renewable every two years and requires 16 hours of Continuing Education 4 hours on the NEC Code and 12 hours on the statutes and rules governing electrical installations or technical topics related to electrical installations and equipment. This seminar is Certified by the Department of Labor Industry (course number 101203.01) and meets the requirements for 8 hours of non-NEC Code Continuing Education.
