TPA Continuing Education Endorsements

Need approved continuing education (CE) hours for Texas psychologists?

In Texas, at least half of a psychologist’s continuing education (CE) hours must come from associations, accredited universities, school districts, or government agencies. TPA is authorized by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (TSBEP) to endorse CE activities, making it easy for your organization to provide qualifying credit.

With a TPA endorsement, your participants can trust that the program meets the standards required by TSBEP. As the endorser, TPA takes responsibility for reviewing the content and ensuring all requirements are met.
