What is the required continuing education requirement for Michigan residential builders to maintain their license?
Correct Answer
B) 21 hours every three years
Michigan requires residential builders to complete 21 hours of continuing education every three years to maintain their license under Act 299.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Michigan requires residential builders to complete 21 hours of continuing education every three years as a condition of license renewal under Act 299. This 21-hour requirement is specifically designed to keep builders current on codes, safety, and business practices over the 3-year renewal cycle.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: No continuing education required
Continuing education is absolutely required for Michigan residential builders. Saying 'no CE required' would leave a licensed builder non-compliant with Act 299 and at risk of non-renewal.
Option C: 6 hours every two years
6 hours every two years totals only 9 hours over a 3-year period, which falls far short of the 21-hour requirement. This option may reflect CE requirements in other states or professions but does not match Michigan's standard.
Option D: 3 hours annually
3 hours annually totals 9 hours over 3 years — again well below the 21-hour requirement. While annual CE is common in some fields, Michigan's builder CE is tracked on a 3-year cycle totaling 21 hours.
Memory Technique
Associate '21' with the legal drinking age — you must be at least 21 to 'stay in the game' as a Michigan residential builder. Every 3 years, clock 21 CE hours or lose your license standing.
