Continuing Education for NC General Contractors That’s Worth Your Time

At cLearn, we believe training should be clear, relevant, and yes, even fun. Most contractors find us when they need their CE credits, and a lot of them tell us it’s the first CE they’ve looked forward to logging in for. We also build custom training for your team and offer leadership and trainer certifications for your crew leaders.

Need your 8 hours? Our CE classes run live on Zoom, talk-show style, with interviews filmed on the jobsite with experienced tradesmen. Take all 8 hours in one day, or in 2-hour classes that fit your schedule. Every 8-hour class includes the 2-hour mandatory course, and we report your hours to the NCLBGC for you.

Why Contractors Keep Coming Back

Honestly, I have been building homes for 35 years and it used to make me cringe, thinking it was time for continuing ed again. Well, that changed with cLearn, Jeff, and his team.

Michael Howard

It’s rare to find a CE provider that makes you look forward to logging in, but Jeff and his team pull it off. Great balance of education, professionalism, and humor.

Brian Cross

The class interaction, laid back format and the high quality, professional video presentations keep me coming back. Jeff and Co. make the 8hr class day go by so fast because there are no lectures.

Donald Stec

I usually dread CE classes, but these were some of the best I’ve attended. The video interviews were engaging and well done. Real life situations are so much more interesting than PowerPoint slides.

Rick Tozier

Jeff was by far the most interesting and informative instructor I’ve had for a CE class. I also appreciated that I could take the classes in 2 hour blocks over several days.

Cammie Dellenger

I have used a few different companies for continuing education for my contractor license renewal over the last few years. I took your class last year & this year. Your platform is the best I’ve seen yet.

Questions About NC General Contractor Continuing Education

How many CE hours do NC general contractors need?

8 hours every year. That’s the 2-hour mandatory course from the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors (NCLBGC), plus 6 hours of approved electives. Every 8-hour class at cLearn covers both.

When is the CE deadline?

The CE year runs January 1 through November 30. All 8 hours have to be done by November 30 to renew your license for the next year.

Can I take my NC GC continuing education online?

Yes. All of our classes run live on Zoom with an experienced instructor, which the NCLBGC accepts for CE credit. Join from the office or from home.

Can I split up my 8 hours?

Yes. Take all 8 in one day, or mix and match 2-hour classes on different days, including our Learn over Lunch classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Just make sure one of them is the 2-hour mandatory course.

Do I have to report my hours to the Board?

Nope. We report your completed hours to the NCLBGC for you, within 7 days of your class. Your certificate of completion is for your own records.
