Under LARA regulations, how many continuing education hours are required for license renewal?
Correct Answer
C) 6 hours
LARA requires 6 hours of continuing education for contractor license renewal in Michigan.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
LARA (Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs) requires Michigan residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors to complete 6 hours of continuing education during each license renewal cycle to maintain their license.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 12 hours
12 hours is double the required amount. This figure may be confused with CE requirements in other professions or states, but Michigan contractor law specifies only 6 hours per renewal cycle.
Option B: 18 hours
18 hours exceeds the required continuing education for Michigan contractor license renewal. This figure does not correspond to any standard Michigan contractor CE requirement.
Option D: 24 hours
24 hours is significantly more than the actual 6-hour requirement. This may be confused with annual CE requirements in professions such as healthcare or real estate in other states.
Memory Technique
Remember '6 hours = 1 day of school.' Michigan contractor renewal CE fits in a single training day — short and practical. The number 6 is the same as the number of letters in 'RENEW' minus one — a simple anchor.
