In Wisconsin, builders/remodelers must hold Dwelling Contractor
and Dwelling Contractor Qualifier credentials.
The Dwelling Contractor credential simply requires a form and
payment; the Dwelling Contractor Qualifier credential
requires initial educational courses as well as 12
hours of State-approved continuing education every two
years.
VHBA offers courses in both initial certification and continuing
education for member and non-member contractors.
Upcoming VHBA classes are posted here -- check
back often as classes are added regularly...
Take any of the four courses here for continuing education
for the Dwelling Contractor Qualifier credential, or take all four
courses to achieve the 12 hours of credit needed to obtain the
Dwelling Contractor Qualifier credential:
Ethics & the Construction Contractor, 2.5
credits
Uniform Dwelling Code, 2 credits
Contracts & Lien Law, 3 credits
Building Science, 4.5 credits
These four courses will be held at the VHBA Member Center in the
fall. Details will be available soon.
