Does This Course Satisfy the Iowa Requirement?

This course provides 4 hours in the Iowa Plumbing Discipline category under Course #CEUL294415. It is designed to satisfy the 4-hour discipline portion for a single plumbing license. Because Iowa permits only half of required CEU hours online, completing this 4-hour online course generally uses the full online allowance for an 8-hour single-license renewal.

✅ 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 (this page) – $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 – $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.

When Do Iowa Licensees Renew?

Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses follow a three-year licensing period. The regular renewal window is generally May 1 through June 30 in the final year of the licensing period. Check your Iowa licensing account for your exact expiration date and current renewal instructions.
