Is refresher training required every year in order to maintain certification?
No. Refresher training is required only once every two years and must be taken no sooner than six months prior to the expiration date of the individual’s three-year certification (keep in mind that this expiration date is not necessarily the two-year anniversary of the training completion date). No expiration date should be placed on the training completion certificate in order to avoid confusion. Top Of Page 11.

Is this training valid for consideration toward meeting the training requirements for certification? No. All training must have been obtained from a Texas-accredited training provider in order for the training to be eligible for consideration toward certification in Texas.
