Continuing Education
For Utah Contractors
LeadShield LLC provides continuing education opportunities for eligible contractors and professionals participating in qualifying training.
Depending on the attendee’s license type and applicable program, up to eight continuing education hours may be available. CE eligibility, reporting requirements, and any additional fee should be confirmed before registration.
Continuing education is separate from Utah RRP certification and does not replace any training, renewal, or state application requirements that apply to a certified renovator.
What Contractors Should Know About CE Credit
LeadShield keeps continuing education information straightforward so contractors can confirm how a qualifying course fits their professional requirements before they register.
Attendees should confirm:
- Whether their license or program is eligible
- How many CE hours may be available
- Whether an additional reporting fee applies
- What information is required for reporting
- When qualifying credit is expected to be reported
Up To Eight CE Hours
Eligible attendees may be able to receive up to eight continuing education hours through qualifying LeadShield training. The exact credit available depends on the applicable licensing program and course.
Eligibility Must Be Confirmed
Continuing education requirements differ by license type and jurisdiction. LeadShield can provide the available course information, but contractors should confirm that the training meets their specific professional requirements before relying on it for CE credit.
Separate From RRP
CE credit does not make an attendee a Utah-certified renovator and does not replace the state certification process. Utah requires renovators to complete the applicable training and then satisfy the additional DAQ certification requirements.
Continuing Education And RRP Requirements Are Different
Continuing education can help contractors meet professional licensing requirements while completing relevant training, but CE credit and RRP certification serve different purposes.
For Utah renovators, completing an accredited RRP course is only one part of the certification process. The state also requires the applicable certification application and supporting documentation. Utah uses the ATLAS system for individual and company applications.
That distinction is important for contractors attending a LeadShield course for more than one reason.
A qualifying class may provide useful RRP training and, when approved for the attendee’s licensing program, continuing education hours. However, receiving CE credit does not automatically complete Utah renovator certification or firm certification.
Likewise, an RRP refresher course has its own purpose. Utah’s DAQ guidance identifies a four-hour accredited refresher completed every five years as part of maintaining individual renovator certification.
LeadShield helps attendees understand which requirements relate to the course, which relate to continuing education, and which remain part of the Utah certification process.
If continuing education is important to your registration decision, provide your license type and applicable program before enrolling so available eligibility, reporting requirements, and fees can be reviewed.
Continuing Education Designed Around Clear Expectations
LeadShield’s goal is to help contractors understand what a qualifying class can provide before they commit to a course.
Confirm your CE requirements, RRP training needs, and any state certification steps separately.
Confirm Your License Type
Tell LeadShield which professional license or program you are seeking continuing education credit for so current eligibility information can be reviewed.
Understand the Fees
When CE reporting is available, LeadShield can explain the information required, the expected reporting process, and any additional reporting fee before registration.
Keep Your Records
Retain your course-completion certificate and any separate continuing education documentation for your professional records. These records may serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable.
