CEUs

Starting Jan. 1, 2022, NAHB credential holders are required to complete four hours or credits each year. Credential holders are NOT required to send in proof of continuing education (CE) earned at time of renewal. However, credential holders may be chosen for a random audit and NAHB will contact them directly to provide proof of CE.
