Courses must be pre-approved by the CIB Electrical Examiners Committee.

In Oklahoma, journeyman and contractor electrician licenses expire annually on the last day of the month in which the license was first issued, but renewal with continuing education occurs every three years (triennial cycle). You must complete 12 hours of CIB-approved CE—including at least 6 hours on NEC Code Update—in the 36 months immediately preceding your expiration date, then submit the renewal application, proof of insurance/bond (for contractors), and fees ($75 for journeyman, $200 for contractor) up to 30 days before or after expiration (late fees apply if after). Apprentice registrations expire annually after a 12-month cycle and require 3 hours of CE each year before re-registering (covering Oklahoma code revisions, state regulations, CIB rules, NFPA 70E safety, and approved trade topics), unless exempt due to active enrollment in a CIB-approved training program.
