Under Alabama continuing education requirements, which of the following courses would NOT qualify for CE credit?
Correct Answer
C) Basic computer skills training
Alabama CE requirements focus on construction-related topics. Basic computer skills training would not qualify as it's not directly related to construction industry knowledge.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Basic computer skills training is a general professional development topic unrelated to the construction industry. Alabama CE requirements mandate that approved courses be directly related to construction, contracting, business management in construction, or safety. Generic IT or computer literacy courses do not meet this standard.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Alabama building code updates
Alabama building code updates are a primary CE category. Staying current on code changes is a core regulatory purpose of CE requirements, so this course absolutely qualifies.
Option B: Business management for contractors
Business management for contractors qualifies because it directly applies to operating a contracting business — a topic Alabama includes within its approved CE subject areas.
Option D: OSHA 10-hour construction safety
OSHA 10-hour construction safety is widely recognized by Alabama and most state licensing boards as a qualifying CE course because it directly addresses worker safety on construction sites.
Memory Technique
Ask yourself: 'Would this course help me build a safer, better, or more legally compliant building?' If yes — it likely qualifies. Typing speed and spreadsheet basics don't help you swing a hammer more safely.
