Renewal cycle
Three-year cycle, September 30 expiration
Every three years
September 30
The reviewed DPO sources say Colorado electrician licenses expire on September 30 every three years.
Cycle reviewed
September 30, 2026
Renewal is available through November 30, 2026. The sources do not define November 30 as a grace period or establish the terms of one.
DPO says the online renewal window opens approximately 4–5 weeks before expiration. The reviewed sources do not establish an exact opening date.
Renew online through the DPO Online Services Renewal System. The DPO Applications and Forms page links to the renewal system and describes the online renewal route.
Continuing education
24 hours per three-year period
Active Residential Wireman, Journeyman Electrician, and Master Electrician licensees must complete at least 24 hours of continuing education during each three-year license period.
- At least 4 hours must cover National Electrical Code (NEC) Changes.
- No more than 4 hours may be completed in the safety competency.
- If a licensee holds multiple licenses issued by the Board, completing continuing education for the most advanced license satisfies the requirements for lesser licenses.
- A licensee initially licensed by examination during the current license period is exempt from continuing education until after the first renewal.
- Courses count only when the provider or vendor has attested to the Board that its courses and instructors meet Board Rule requirements.
