How to Apply Online 

To apply for approval of a continuing education course, whether as an individual attendee or as the course provider, you must submit a request for CE approval by way of our online certification and licensing system located on our home page.

Please view the Watch How to Apply for CE Approval-Slideshow (pdf) on our website prior to starting the application process.

  1. Login to your online profile
  2. Click CE Approval Request
  3. Follow all instructions accordingly.

For Course Type, please one of the following:

  • Seminar,
  • Online, or
  • Other.

When submitting CE applications online, you must enter data in the "Course Location" field, as follows:

  • For in-person courses: enter just the city/cities (for TX courses), or city/cities and state (for non-TX courses).
  • For online courses: enter the website address where the course is offered.
  • Skip the City, State and Zip fields.

Entering the location this way helps to ensure it is displayed properly for those searching our system to see what is available in their area(s). 

Applications will be reviewed to determine compliance with Commission's rules.

Applicants will be notified of the determination via an automated email and should check their inbox (and spam folder) for the email.
