State Licence Renewal
Licensing requirements vary by state and by profession. For example, Construction Supervisors with an Unrestricted Licence in Massachusetts require 12 CEUs biannually. Residential Builders with a Basic licence in Georgia must complete 6 hours of continuing education biannually. In many states, compliance with continuing education requirements is a condition for licence renewal.
Procore's Continuing Education courses may fulfill state licensing requirements. When a course is completed, a certificate of completion is provided. It is up to the construction professional to submit their certificates of completion to their state licensing board to request credit for participating in a Procore Continuing Education course. In many states approval may be granted for courses that the professional has already completed and prior approval of the course may not be required. Procore cannot guarantee that all boards will accept these course credits. Please check your state's licensing board requirements to verify the rules specific to your state.
