FAQ

In-Person – Instructor and Qualifiers are together “live”. Please note: “hybrid” courses – where an Instructor is presenting to a “live” class and simultaneously on-line are NOT approved by NCLBGC.
Synchronous Distance Learning – Instructor and Qualifiers are on-line together (not pre-recorded). Streamline uses the Zoom platform. NCLBGC requires a Proctor for every 50 Qualifiers to monitor attendance, and provide other support functions.
E-learning – Pre-recorded courses (webinars) meeting the following guidelines:
Timed modules – (50 minutes – not allowing “fast forwarding”).
“Knowledge Check” – at least 5 questions during each 50-minute module.

  • Knowledge Check must be passed with a 70% score having no more than 5 attempts.
  • “Summative Assessment” – 20 questions covering each module given after all modules and Knowledge Checks are completed
  • Summative Assessment must also be passed with a 70% score before you receive your Certificate of Completion (credit) for the course.
  • Receiving Credit – For a 2 credit hour CE, you will have a minimum of 2 Knowledge Checks with a minimum of 10 questions and a Summative Assessment of 20 questions all requiring a minimum 70% score to receive credit.

    You don’t have to do anything – it’s all up to the CE provider – like Streamline, LLC.
    Within 7 days, NCLBGC requires providers to upload class rosters which include the qualifier number and name, and pay the Board a fee for each attendee.
    Streamline, LLC (or other CE provider) is also responsible for sending each attendee a certificate of completion so each certificate will have a unique design. The Board does not issue the certificate so it will not have the Board’s official seal.
    You, the qualifier, are required to keep this certificate for 4 years in case of a Board audit of CE hours.

    The 8-hour course is a marketing gimmick used by some providers. Streamline GC offers all 8-hours to renew your licenses.

    No, you need your qualifier number. Your license number is NOT your qualifier number!
    Not to jump the gun on content in the 2 hour Mandatory Course but:
    A qualifier per NCLBGC is:
    a responsible managing employee, owner, officer, or member of an LLC or partnership who successfully completes the examination required for licensing. . . . Qualifiers are not licensees but are the holders of a qualifying credential that is required for licensure.

    No – but the Qualifier completing the CE must be:

  • A Qualifier holding Building, Residential, or Unlimited exam credentials (not Highway, Public Utilities or Specialty)
  • The same person – you cannot have “Bob” complete 2 hours of CE and “Wendy” complete 6 hours of CE.
  • See Section 21 NCAC 12B.0102 Continuing Education Credit (a) (link: https://nclbgc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Continuing-Education-Laws-and-Regulations_09142021.pdf )
