Proof of
Compliance
You may download the CEPH log from the board website or
send a written request to the TBAE office. It is your
responsibility to obtain and maintain this annual log. You
may also download the CE Guide and a Q&A on Sustainability and Continuing
Education.
When renewing his/her annual registration, each Registrant shall
sign the statement on the renewal form attesting to the
Registrant's fulfillment of the mandatory continuing education
program requirements during the preceding registration
period.
A detailed record of the Registrant's continuing education
activities shall be recorded annually using the online log or paper
form provided by the Board.
Each Registrant shall retain proof of fulfillment of the mandatory
continuing education program requirements and shall retain the
completed form required by this subsection for a period of 5 years
after the end of the registration period for which credit is
claimed.
Please do not submit your CEPH log every year. Each registrant must
sign a statement on the renewal form each year to verify completion
of the required CEPH. A small percentage of registrants chosen at
random will be audited each renewal period.
Non-Compliance Penalties
Upon written request, the Board may require a Registrant to produce
documentation to prove that the Registrant has complied with the
mandatory continuing education program requirements.
Failure to fulfill the annual continuing education program
requirements may result in disciplinary action by the Board.
Any Registrant who is found to have reported false information
regarding the Registrant's continuing education activities shall be
subject to disciplinary action by the Board.
