Registered Trainer Renewals

To remain active, Registered Trainers must complete an online application to renew their trainer information every three years.

Registered Trainer Renewal Steps: 

To qualify for renewal, you must demonstrate that you have been actively conducting training and actively participating in training. You may submit your renewal application 90 days before your renewal date, which can be found in your Trainer Account Summary. Registered Trainers will also receive several renewal reminder emails beginning at 90 days before your renewal date.

1. Documentation of Training Presentations by trainer– minimum 36 clock hours
   • Enter each training presented in your training renewal application by clicking “add another training” button in the lower right corner.
   • Fill out or type all trainings presented onto the Training Log Template and upload into the above section
2. Documentation of Training of Trainer (TOT) in Core Knowledge Areas and Skills for Trainers in past 3 years (upload copy of certificates) – minimum 8 clock hours in the Trainer Core Competencies
   • Please visit our Trainer Resources page for suggestions on courses
3. Documentation of Training in Core Competency Areas for Practitioners or Administrators (upload copy of certificates) – minimum 12 clock hours
   • Please note, any professional development certificates uploaded into your TECPDS account (training/workshop) should already appear in this section
   • If you need to obtain certificates, we recommend using the free trainings on CLI Engage or the free/low cost trainings on Texas A&M AgriLife

If you are a current faculty member, view the Application Requirements  for ECE College Faculty and submit a Faculty Waiver Letter. You need 8 clock hours of TOT and 36 hours of trainings presented. You must still provide 12 clock hours covering Practitioner/Administrator Competencies.
