Need continuing education hours for your plumbing or HVAC license? The Kentucky Association of Master Contractors provides continuing education opportunities for members and non-members alike. Using our unique partnerships, we have a wide variety of classes that we host year-round. We typically hold one continuing education class in each of our 11 districts during the Spring, and will also hold additional classes in the fall in different cities across the state. We also do speciality classes like Medical Gas Certification/Recertification and Backflow Certification/Recertification. In addition to our classes, our Partners also hold classes through our providership. Please check out the upcoming events page.

If you are a member of the Association, we offer private classes just for your employees! We can tailor the training to fit your needs and schedule. Give us a call today at 502-352-2575 or email us at info@kyamc.com for more information on private classes.
