Elevator Maintenance licensing in Utah.
Utah licenses elevator mechanics under the Construction Trades Licensing Act. Applicants complete an approved program such as NEIEP or NAEC's CET program, or log 6,000 hours of qualifying training and score at least 75% on the state exam, and licensees must complete eight hours of approved continuing education each licensing period. The same state rules apply in Salt Lake City and Ogden, so candidates licensed there can work in Provo without re-qualifying.
Licensing authority: Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL). Confirm current rules with the agency.
