Does This Course Satisfy the Iowa Requirement?

This course provides 2 hours in the Iowa Plumbing Code category under Course #CEUL294414. For a single plumbing license, it is designed to satisfy the 2-hour plumbing code portion of the 8-hour CEU requirement. It does not satisfy the separate safety or 4-hour plumbing discipline requirements.

✅ Iowa Plumbing Continuing Education Requirements

A single Iowa plumbing license generally requires 8 CEU hours during each three-year licensing period.

• 2 hours of Iowa Occupational Safety and Health education
• 2 hours of Iowa plumbing code education
• 4 hours of plumbing discipline education
• At least 4 hours must be completed in person; up to 4 hours may be completed online

Confirm your current license type and remaining categories in your Iowa licensing account before enrolling.

Multiple-license note: Iowa generally requires 14 total hours for multiple mechanical licenses and 16 total hours for a plumbing license combined with one or more mechanical licenses. At least half of the applicable total must be completed in person.

✅ How 1st Choice CE Can Help You Meet These Requirements

For a single Iowa plumbing license, choose one of these two online paths:

• Online Path 1 — Safety and code: 4 Hour Plumbing Safety & Code Credits – Iowa – $38.99. This covers 2 safety hours and 2 plumbing-code hours online. Complete the remaining 4 plumbing discipline hours in person.
• Online Path 2 — Discipline: 4 Hour Plumbing Discipline Training – Iowa – $38.99. This covers the 4-hour plumbing discipline category online. Complete the remaining 2 safety and 2 plumbing-code hours in person.

Need only one 2-hour category? These individual courses can help when they fit within your remaining online allowance:

• 2 Hour Plumbing Safety – Occupational Safety & Health – Iowa – $19.99 – 2 approved safety hours
• 2 Hour Plumbing Code Update – Iowa (this page) – $19.99 – 2 approved plumbing-code hours

Important: A single-license holder should not count both 4-hour online paths for the same renewal period. Confirm the categories and online hours you still need before purchasing.
