The SC Manufactured Housing Board and the state legislature approved CE requirements for the MH Industry in 2018.

Nearly every licensed profession in South Carolina now needs to take a specific number of hours in order to renew their license. When it became inevitable that CE would be required for manufactured home licensees, the association worked with officials to accomplish two goals:

1. A reasonable, minimal number of hours required.
2. Allowing the association to offer the classes at low or no cost. For some professions, courses are only available from for-profit schools. The for-profit courses can be costly and the selection is often limited.

Dealers, Salespeople, Authorized Officials, Contractors, Installers and Repairers licensed by the SC Manufactured Housing Board are required to take CE to renew their license.

Dealers, salespeople, installers, repairers, and contractors can take any courses offered by MHISC for credit regardless of course topic.

Our courses cover a wide variety of manufactured housing industry topics and focus on practical and useful information.

Most license-holders will need to take six hours before renewing their license by June 30 2026.

A person who holds two licenses from the SC Manufactured Housing Board only has to get the same amount of CE as a person who holds one license. When CE is being applied to more than one license, license holders must ensure that all applicable license numbers are listed on the CE certificate in order to receive credit from the Board.

Newly licensed persons who get their first license less than 24 months before the end of the current licensing period will have reduced CE requirements. They will then have the same CE requirements as everyone else during the next licensing cycle.

A licensee who got more than six hours of CE during the 2022-2024 licensing period may carry over up to two hours to apply toward their CE requirements for the 2024-2026 licensing period.

If your license was first issued before June 30, 2024, you will need 6 hours to renew.

If a license is first issued between June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025, you will need 3 hours to renew.

If a license is first issued after June 30, 2025, you will not need any hours to renew your license at the end of the 2024-2026 licensing period.

The association will offer many continuing education classes this cycle.

In-person classes are typically given at MHISC Chapter meetings. The chapters meet quarterly in Charleston, Columbia, Florence, Grand Strand, and Greenville. Our Low Country Chapter rotates between meetings in Beaufort and Walterboro.

Additionally, the association also offers some fully online courses. These can be taken anywhere you have access to a computer and an internet connection.

The classes offered by MHISC are free for members. One of the benefits of membership in MHISC is free continuing education. This includes free CE for all employees at a member retail center, community, or installer/repairer company.

Typical tuition for non-members is $40 per class. Tuition may vary based on the cost of production and materials provided.

Important. Please read carefully:  You cannot take the same class twice during the same two-year licensing period. 

Some of the most relevant courses from the 2022-2024 licensing period may be re-offered.  You may take those courses during the current licensing period only if they are listed on this page under “Courses for 2024-2026 Licensing Period.”
