12-Hour Wisconsin Initial and Continued Education
Dwelling Contractor Certification Courses

Two excellent courses to choose from that will fulfill both the Initial and Continued Education 12-Hour Certification.  Both cost $119.00 and both are approved by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce.  All courses are available online and come with a free hardcopy (order below).

Course #1 -- 120 Questions covering Project Management for Contractors, Construction Contracts, and Construction Site Erosion Control and Storm Water Management.  Easy to read text and easy to complete quizzes.

Course #2 -- 280 Questions, most of which come straight from the Uniform Dwelling Code Book that is included with the course.  Each question directs you to the specific code number.  (For example, "The answer to question 1 can be found in Comm 20.01, Purpose.") The objective of this course is to guide your through the UBC book.  There are also three brief chapters updating you on Lead Paint Safety, Right to Cure Laws and Asbestos Abatement.

Obtaining Your Dwelling Contractor Certification

We will provide the application with you quiz results.  You will need to provide evidence that the person that completed the course complies with the various state requirements.

In the future, anyone renewing any Dwelling Contractor Qualifier Certification will need to complete 12 approved continuing education hours during the two-year education cycle that parallels the two-year term of the certification.  Our Continued Education course above qualifies for this certification.
