hours every 3 years

Iowa electrical licenses are issued on a 3-year renewal cycle by the Iowa Electrical Examining Board, housed within the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing (DIAL). The Electrical Examining Board requires approved continuing education each cycle, with content reflecting the current National Electrical Code, Iowa Code Chapter 103, and Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 661 rules. The specific CE hour total and the approved-provider list are set by board rule and are updated periodically; licensees should confirm the current requirement with DIAL before the renewal deadline.
