The Board unanimously voted to allow home inspectors to receive continuing education credit for attending LIVE Streaming CE and have it count as “In-Class” credit throughout the COVID 19 recovery. This change is in effect until September 11, 2020. At that time the Board will reassess the situation to determine if it should be extended or not.
LIVE Streaming Rules:
Class size is limited to 25 participants
Each participant must use video (no blank screens allowed) and must participate
Each class is limited to 2 hour blocks with a maximum of 6 hours per day.
LIVE streaming should not be confused with online CE. Online CE* is still limited to 10 hours of CE per licensing period.
All LIVE streaming courses will be broadcast by the LSBHI as well as listed on the calendar which can be found on our website.
