FAQs

Is this course really $4.99?

Yes. No hidden fees, no upsells. We believe electricians shouldn't be overcharged for something they're required to do, so we offer this course at cost.

Is this approved by TDLR?

Yes. Fully approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for electrician CE credit. It satisfies your full 4-hour requirement for license renewal.

How long does it take?

4 hours total. Complete it in one sitting or break it up across multiple sessions — your progress is saved automatically. Most electricians finish in a single afternoon.

What does the course cover?

NEC Code Updates (3 hrs), Electrical Safety & NFPA 70E (30 min), and Texas Laws & Rules (30 min). Everything TDLR requires, nothing you don't need.

Will this renew my license automatically?

Completing the course fulfills your CE requirement and automatically updates your Buildforce profile. You'll still need to submit your renewal application and pay the $30 TDLR renewal fee at TDLR's website.

Do I need a Buildforce account?

Yes, but signing up is free and takes about a minute. The course is available to any Texas electrician, whether you're already using Buildforce for work or not.

What if my license is already expired?

You can still take the course. Complete your CE, then renew through TDLR. Your Buildforce profile will update automatically once your license is active again.

Can I take this on my phone?

Yes. The course works on any device with a browser — phone, tablet, or laptop. Pick up where you left off anytime.
