How many hours of continuing education must a Tennessee contractor complete for license renewal?

Correct Answer

C) 6 hours annually

Tennessee requires 6 hours of continuing education annually for contractor license renewal.

Answer Options
A
16 hours biennially
B
12 hours biennially
C
6 hours annually
D
8 hours annually

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Tennessee requires contractors to complete 6 hours of continuing education every year (annually) as a condition of license renewal.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 16 hours biennially

16 hours biennially (every two years) is not the Tennessee requirement. This figure may be confused with requirements in other licensed professions or other states.

Option B: 12 hours biennially

12 hours biennially is not the correct Tennessee standard. Biennial CE requirements are used in some states but Tennessee specifies annual completion.

Option D: 8 hours annually

8 hours annually exceeds the actual 6-hour annual requirement. This distractor tests whether students know the exact number, not just the frequency.

Memory Technique

Six hours = Six months before your license expires β€” pick one CE course every six months to stay on track. '6 per year in Tennessee' rhymes to help recall.
