Training & Personnel
When you attend training provided by an outside training provider, or take an on-line course, we may be able to submit the training for TCOLE credit. If you receive a certificate of completion for any type of training and you’re unsure if the training provider is reporting to TCOLE, send the certificate to T&P along with an instructor evaluation within 30 days of the training and we will determine if it qualifies for TCOLE credit.
TCOLE
