Continuing Competency for Builders
Michicode.com will be holding a 3 hr Continuing Competency Class for Residential Builders licensed in The State of Michigan starting in January of 2011. Right now, we have a number of evening Continuing Competency classes scheduled for Detroit and Warren locations. Our classes are approved for PA54 continuing education for state registered inspectors (1hr of admin, 1-hr of Technical and 1-hr of Specialty). The cost of the class is $45.00.
As required by PA157, the Continuing Competency for Residential Builders shall include 1-hr of changes in construction and business law, 1-hr of applicable state building codes and 1-hr of safety. Although documentation by the attendee or the instructor of class attendance is not being submitted to the State, the State will audit a predetermined percentage of license applicants to confirm the have fulfilled the Continuing Competency requirements. We will provide you with documentation of attendance. You will be required to maintain a record of your attendance for 5 years.
Renewal applicants will also be required to “confirm” they possess a copy of the “current” Michigan Residential Code. The Michigan Residential Code 2009 will go into effect on March 9, 2011.
