Under Title 54.1, what is the continuing education requirement for Virginia contractor license renewal?

Correct Answer

D) 8 hours every 2 years

Virginia requires 8 hours of continuing education every 2 years for contractor license renewal under Title 54.1.

Answer Options
A
16 hours every 2 years
B
No continuing education required
C
24 hours every 3 years
D
8 hours every 2 years

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Virginia requires 8 hours of continuing education every 2 years for contractor license renewal under Title 54.1.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 16 hours every 2 years

16 hours every 2 years is double the actual requirement. This figure might be confused with requirements in other states or other licensed professions.

Option B: No continuing education required

Virginia does require continuing education β€” no CE is not an option. Eliminating this choice first narrows the answer quickly.

Option C: 24 hours every 3 years

24 hours every 3 years is neither the correct amount nor the correct cycle under Title 54.1. This figure does not correspond to any Virginia contractor CE requirement.

Memory Technique

Remember '8 in 2' β€” eight hours every two years. Picture an octagon (8 sides) on a two-year calendar.
