Analysis of Changes 2023 NEC Course Update - updated 3/13/2023
Pace is proud to continue our partnership with IAEI in offering online electrical code change content. We have been working with IAEI since the content became available in October 2022. All courses have been completed. Applications for approval are expected to be completed this week. The approval process typically takes about eight weeks as there are two levels of approval, IDECC (a third-party accreditation service) and then the Minnesota DLI. Our goal is to have the 2023 code change content launched in May.

Note on retaking 2020 Analysis of Changes Courses: The Minnesota DLI DOES ALLOW you to retake the same courses as long as it's a different renewal cycle. Therefore if you took the 2020 code change courses last cycle, you can take them again. In fact, you would need to retake the same NEC courses every two code cycles, because you have three license renewals every two code cycles.

Courses approved by MN DLI:

• Analysis of Changes 2020 NEC - Part 1 - Code-Wide, Chapters 1 and 2 (4 hours). Approval # 20200316.
• Analysis of Changes 2020 NEC - Part 2 - Chapters 3 and 4 (4 hours). Approval # 20200317.

The Minnesota DLI requires a closed book quiz at the end of all online CE courses. Although not required, you may use the National Electric Code®, NEC®, book as a reference during the exam. You need a score of 70% or greater to pass. You are allowed to retake the quiz. To help you prepare, Pace provides practice exercises throughout the course.
