For Florida contractors, staying up to date with continuing education is not just a regulatory requirement — it’s essential to maintaining your license and ensuring that you’re providing the highest quality work in a rapidly evolving industry. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) mandates that licensed contractors complete 14 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years. These credits cover a range of topics aimed to keep you informed about the latest industry standards, safety practices, and legal obligations.

➡️ Did you know that by attending METALCON 2026 you can earn over half of those 14 required credits?
