✅ Who Should Take This Course?

• Oklahoma licensed electrical journeymen renewing a license
• Oklahoma licensed electrical contractors renewing a license
• Journeymen and contractors who have already completed their 6 hours of Code Update and need the other half
• Electricians who want their full 12 hours from one approved provider
• Licensees renewing late who need approved hours applied to the prior 36-month period
• Out-of-state electricians holding an Oklahoma journeyman or contractor license

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 6 of the 12 continuing education hours Oklahoma requires of electrical journeymen and contractors each three-year cycle, and it is approved in the Electrical – Other category.

It does not satisfy your full renewal requirement on its own. Oklahoma also requires 6 hours of Code Update covering the codes and revisions adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission. Those hours must be completed separately.

Apprentices are on a different schedule — 3 hours every year before reregistering — and should take the 3-hour apprentice course instead.

✅ Oklahoma Electrical Continuing Education Requirements

Oklahoma electrical continuing education changed on January 1, 2026. House Bill 3215, signed May 3, 2024, doubled the requirement for journeymen and contractors from 6 hours to 12 hours per cycle and created a new annual requirement for apprentices. Many licensees renewing now are meeting the higher total for the first time.

• Approved courses carry a suffix that tells you which category they count in: “E” for Code Update, “EO” for Other, and “EA” for Apprentice.
• A licensee is exempt from the continuing education requirement for three years from the date they passed their current licensing exam.
• If a license expires before the requirement is met, continuing education completed while the license is expired is applied to the 36 months preceding the expiration date.
• Courses and instructors must be approved in advance by the Electrical Committee, so hours from an unapproved course will not count.

How this course helps: This 6-hour course is approved in the Electrical – Other category and provides all 6 of the “Other” hours Oklahoma journeymen and contractors need each three-year cycle. It contributes 6 of the 12 total required hours. The remaining 6 hours must come from an approved Code Update course. This course does not apply to the apprentice requirement.

✅ When Do Oklahoma Electricians Renew?

Oklahoma electrical journeyman and contractor licenses renew on a three-year cycle, and your continuing education must cover the 36 months preceding your license expiration date. Your expiration date is on your license record, not a single statewide date, so check your own record rather than assuming a common deadline.

Apprentice registration is annual, and the 3-hour apprentice requirement must be met before reregistering.

If your license has already expired, hours you complete now are still applied to the 36-month period before it expired — but renew as soon as you can and follow the instructions the CIB sends you.

✅ How to Renew Your Oklahoma Electrical License

1. Check your license record for your exact license type, status, and expiration date so you know which requirement applies and when your 36-month window closes.
2. Complete 6 hours of Code Update and 6 hours of Other from courses approved in advance by the Electrical Committee. Confirm the course number suffix — “E” or “EO” — matches the category you still need.
3. Finish your courses with enough time for your provider to report the completions. 1st Choice CE reports to the CIB within 24 hours, and your certificate is emailed to you immediately.
4. Download the renewal form from the CIB Forms and Applications page for the electrical industry, or request one from the CIB office.
5. Complete the renewal form and review your contact and business information before submitting it.
6. Submit the form and pay the renewal fee through the CIB online payment portal, following the instructions on your renewal notice.
7. Save your receipt and confirm your license shows an active status with an updated expiration date.
