Class approvals

1. Classes, apprenticeship programs, and instructors shall have prior approval by the board and requests for approval shall be made no later than thirty days prior to class instruction. Board approval of continuing education classes and instructors accepted expires when the board adopts an updated edition of the National Electrical Code. Approved apprenticeship programs shall be reviewed at intervals set by the board. 2. Application for approval of educational classes and instructors shall be on a form provided by the board. A complete description (detailed curriculum outlining the subject matter along with the time and sequence of each item) and copies of all materials provided to the attendants shall be submitted. All educational classes shall meet minimum education requirements set by the board. 3. Education programs held in other states may be considered for credit if the program meets the requirements of the board. 4. The board shall be notified in writing no later than fifteen days prior to the date, time, and location of the class. A representative of the board shall be entitled to attend without charge and have the authority to audit or review education classes. 5. The board may withdraw approval of any educational classes not in compliance with this section. 6. The provider of the class shall forward an attendance list to the board on a form supplied by the board within fifteen days following the class. A certificate of completion shall also be provided to each attendee. Each certificate of completion and attendance list shall include the name of the provider, the name of the instructor, the class identification number, the date and location of the class, and the number of code and noncode hours of instruction for education units. For all classes, include the attendee's name, license or registration number, and last four digits of the electrician's social security number. It is the responsibility of the attendee to have a copy of this certificate of completion. The certificates shall be sent to the board only if requested by the board. The provider shall be responsible to keep accurate attendance by periodically checking attendees during the class. For providers that conduct continuing education classes in North Dakota, the attendance record shall be submitted to the board as required. 7. Continuing education credits can be deposited with the board for a period up to two license renewal periods. Continuing education credits will not be given for attending the same continuing education class more than once in a code cycle (example: same sponsor, same title, and same class approval number).
