It does not include the separate 4 hours of in-person discipline education generally required for renewal.

✅ Iowa Mechanical-Trade Continuing Education Requirements

A single Iowa HVAC/R, Hydronics, Sheet Metal, or Mechanical 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 mechanical code education
• 4 hours of discipline education applicable to the license held
• At least 4 hours must be completed in person; up to 4 hours may be completed online

Licensees holding multiple mechanical licenses may have a 14-hour requirement. Confirm your exact license combination before selecting courses.

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

• Online Path 1 — Safety and mechanical code: 4 Hour Mechanical Safety & Code Credits – Iowa (this page) – $38.99. This covers 2 safety hours and 2 mechanical-code hours online. Complete the remaining 4 applicable discipline hours in person.

• 2 Hour Mechanical Code Update – Iowa – $19.99 – 2 approved mechanical-code hours
