Continuing Education

Please refer to the Continuing Education page of our website and sections 4.0 and 8.5 of the JBCC Rules for information on continuing education requirements, including the number of hours required.

To see a list of programs that have been approved by the Commission you must search for the courses via the online certification and licensing system located on our home page. It is not a complete list of all programs in the State of Texas. Rather, it is just a list of courses that have been submitted to and approve by the JBCC. 

If a course you want to take is not on the list, you must submit an application for course approval to the Commission. Your application will be reviewed to determine if, based on the rules, it would be approved and, if so, for how many hours. You must apply for course approval through the online certification and licensing system. 

No. Attendees can submit their applications prior to or after the program.

Applications are processed as soon as possible. Also, please remember that course approvals must be submitted no later than 2 months before your certification expires.

No, you do not. You would just submit one application for the entire conference. So, on the course approval form, in the field for the program name, you’d enter the name of the actual conference. For example, Jane Doe’s 2016 Annual Process Server Conference.

Please refer to the Continuing Education page of our website for information on what documentation to submit. Additionally, section 4.3 (c) of the JBCC Rules establishes the requirements for applying for course approval. The course approval form provides additional information on what to submit. We recommend referring to those items for details.  You can generally obtain the required documentation from the course provider.

Sections 4.0 and 8.5 of the JBCC Rules establishes the requirements for continuing education. Please refer to those sections for this information.

You must report the JBCC approved CE courses you've taken when you apply for renewal of your certification. You must also upload copies of your certificates of attendance to your renewal application as well.
