Does This Course Satisfy the Iowa Requirement?

This course provides 4 hours in the Iowa Mechanical Discipline category under Course #CEUL294418. It is designed for the discipline portion of a single Mechanical license. Because Iowa permits only half of required CEU hours online, completing this 4-hour online course generally uses the full online allowance for an 8-hour single-license renewal.

✅ Iowa Mechanical Continuing Education Requirements

A single Iowa 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 qualifying mechanical discipline education
• At least 4 hours must be completed in person; up to 4 hours may be completed online

The discipline mix for a Mechanical license may involve HVAC/R, Hydronics, or Sheet Metal topics. Confirm your exact needs in your Iowa licensing account.

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.

✅ How 1st Choice CE Can Help You Meet These Requirements

For a single Iowa mechanical-trade license, choose one of these two online paths:

• Online Path 1 — Safety and mechanical code: 4 Hour Mechanical Safety & Code Credits – Iowa – $38.99. This covers 2 safety hours and 2 mechanical-code hours online. Complete the remaining 4 applicable discipline hours in person.
• Online Path 2 — Discipline: Choose the 4-hour discipline course that matches your license. Complete the remaining 2 safety and 2 mechanical-code hours in person.
• 4 Hour Mechanical Discipline Training – Iowa (this page) – $38.99 – 4 approved discipline hours applicable to the named license

Need only one 2-hour category? These individual courses can help when they fit within your remaining online allowance:

• 2 Hour Mechanical Trades Safety – Occupational Safety & Health – Iowa – $19.99 – 2 approved mechanical-trades safety hours
• 2 Hour Mechanical Code Update – Iowa – $19.99 – 2 approved mechanical-code hours

Important: A single-license holder should not count both 4-hour online paths for the same renewal period. Confirm the discipline category and online hours you still need before purchasing.

When Do Iowa Licensees Renew?

Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses follow a three-year licensing period. The regular renewal window is generally May 1 through June 30 in the final year of the licensing period. Check your Iowa licensing account for your exact expiration date and current renewal instructions.
