- Construction supervisor restricted to one and two-family dwellings: 10 hours
- Speciality construction supervisor (e.g., licensed in masonry or insulation): 6 hours

- 4 hours of code review for unrestricted and restricted CS licenses, 2 hours of code review for specialty CSLs
- 1 hour on workplace safety
- 1 hour on business practices and workers’ compensation
- 1 hour on energy (unless you have a demolition specialty license)
- If it’s your first renewal cycle, you also need one hour on lead safe practices.
