Does This Course Satisfy the Iowa Requirement?

This course provides 2 hours in the Iowa Mechanical Code category under Course #CEUL294417. For a single HVAC/R, Hydronics, Sheet Metal, or Mechanical license, it is designed to satisfy the 2-hour mechanical code portion of the 8-hour CEU requirement. It does not satisfy the separate safety or discipline requirements.

✅ Iowa Mechanical-Trade Continuing Education Requirements

A single Iowa HVAC/R, Hydronics, Sheet Metal, or Mechanical license generally requires 8 CEU hours during each three-year licensing period.

• 2 hours of Iowa Occupational Safety and Health education
• 2 hours of Iowa mechanical code education
• 4 hours of discipline education applicable to the license held
• At least 4 hours must be completed in person; up to 4 hours may be completed online

Licensees holding multiple mechanical licenses may have a 14-hour requirement. Confirm your exact license combination before selecting courses.

Multiple-license note: Iowa generally requires 14 total hours for multiple mechanical licenses and 16 total hours for a plumbing license combined with one or more mechanical licenses. At least half of the applicable total must be completed in person.
