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:
- A reasonable, minimal number of hours required.
- 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 only need to take six hours before renewing their license by June 30 2024. (The license renewal period is expected to start around the end of April 2024.)
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.
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.
If your license was first issued before June 30, 2022. You need 6 hours to renew.
If your license was first issued between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023. You need 3 hours to renew.
If your license was first issued after June 30, 2023. You do not need any hours to renew.
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 included free CE for all employees at a member retail center, community, or installer/repairer company.
Non-members tuition is $40 per class.
Ordinarily you cannot take the same course in the same licensing period twice, unless there are special circumstances. Contact markdillard@mhisc.com
