a)         A licensed home inspector who applies for renewal of their home inspector license shall successfully complete a total of 12 hours of approved continuing education (CE) during each 2 year renewal cycle.  Continuing education must consist of a minimum of 8 hours of mandatory courses, as defined by Subpart F.

b)         Continuing education credit is earned for verified attendance and completion of a course approved by the Division. All continuing education courses shall be a minimum of 1 credit hour.

c)         If the licensee submits an application for renewal and fails to submit satisfactory evidence of compliance with the CE requirements of this Part by the renewal deadline, the Division shall refuse to renew the license. The Division shall conduct audits of its records to verify compliance with this Section.

d)         If licensees have earned CE credit in another state or jurisdiction for which they will be claiming credit toward full compliance in Illinois, each applicant shall submit an application, along with a $50 per course processing fee, after completion of the CE course and prior to expiration of the license.  The Division may review and recommend approval or disapproval of the CE course provided the course is substantially equivalent to those approved in Illinois.
