UVU Offers Additional Contractor Continuing Education Courses in June
OREM, Utah-- All Utah contractors are required to complete six hours of continuing education for license renewals. Due to high demand for these non-credit courses, UVU School of Continuing Education will offer June sessions on the Orem campus. The classes enable contractors to fulfill their mandatory continuing education requirements while staying current on construction industry laws and code updates.
Legal Issues for Contractors covers how to reduce the risk of current and future legal liability. Students will receive updates on both mechanic lien laws and attachment lien laws, the current laws and rules for worker's compensation, and construction contracts and subcontracts. Legal Issues will be held on Tuesday, June 19 from 6-9 p.m. and is taught by Steven A. Christensen, an experienced local attorney.
Code Essentials for Contractors helps students avoid common mistakes and costly errors in site preparation, footing and foundation inspections, underground plumbing, electrical and heating procedures, masonry techniques, and the proper and safe use of temporary power. Attendees will save time and money by learning how to pass final inspections the first time. This is considered a core contractor course and is taught by Paul K. Ashton, a UVU alumnus and Orem City building inspector. Code Essentials will be held on Wednesday, June 20 from 6-9 p.m.
UVU is an authorized provider of continuing education programs for Utah's Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. Registration includes all course
materials and a certificate of completion. For more information or to register for a class, please call Sally at (801) 863-8012 or visit http://www.uvsc.edu/conted.
