Section 1208-3.4 - Advanced in-service training requirements

(a) To maintain certification, a certified building safety inspector or a certified code enforcement official must successfully complete all advanced in-service training requirements made applicable to his or her category of certification pursuant to this section, within the time established pursuant to this section. Only advanced in-service training courses which are:

(1) developed and presented by the Department, or

(2) approved and certified by the Secretary pursuant to this Part and taught or presented by instructors or adjunct instructors approved and certified by the Secretary pursuant to this Part, shall satisfy an advanced in-service training requirement.

(b) The Secretary may from time to time require a certified building safety inspector or a certified code enforcement official to receive advanced in-service training, not to exceed 24 hours annually, relating to amendments, revisions, or additions to the Uniform Code and/or the Energy Code; other changes in law; development in construction technologies or techniques; or other matters which, in the opinion of the Secretary, warrant specific training. When such advanced in-service training is to be required, the Secretary shall issue a statement indicating that advanced in-service training is required and specifying for building safety inspector certification or code enforcement official certification:

(1) the topic areas in which advanced in-service training is required;

(2) the minimum number of hours of training; and

(3) the time within which such advanced in-service training must be completed.

Any statement issued by the Secretary pursuant to this subdivision shall be posted on the Department's website.

(c) Unless otherwise specified in the statement issued by the Secretary pursuant to subdivision (b) of this section, each hour of advanced in-service training successfully completed by a certified building safety inspector or a certified code enforcement official shall count toward satisfaction of his or her in-service training requirement for the calendar year in which such advanced in-service training is received.
