Professional Credits

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from The University of Texas at Austin may be awarded. CEUs are standard-ized units of nonacademic credit that are nationally recognized. Certain li-censing agencies and many employers acknowledge CEUs as a way to record professional training.

The following licensing agencies have approved specified PETEX courses for

professional development credits for their Texas members:

• The American Association of Petro-leum Landmen grants credits for the Petroleum Fundamentals, Elementary Drilling, The Rig School, and Pipeline Technology courses.

• The Texas State Board of Public Account- ancy awards CPEs for The Rig School, Petroleum Fundamentals, and Elemen-tary Drilling courses. No prerequisites are required on any of these courses. • The Texas Department of Insurance

awards CEs for The Rig School and Petroleum Fundamentals courses. To be awarded CEs, there is an added $25 administration fee to be paid at the time of enrollment.

• The Texas State Bar grants 2.75 hours of MCLEs for The Rig School course. The number of hours awarded for the successful completion of a course is listed at the beginning of each course description. If you are a member of a pro-fessional organization from a state other than Texas or a foreign country, your organization might award professional credits based on these Texas approvals. Call 800.687.7052 for more information. Texas Professional Engineers (P.E.) Continuing Education Requirements All Texas Professional Engineers (P.E.) are required to have proof of 15 hours of continuing education activity for an-nual license renewal. The Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE) does not require official documentation upon license renewal but does maintain the final authority to audit and review li-censee’s renewal information. However, TBPE asks that licensees keep records documenting their continuing education activities for three years.

PETEX offers:

• Continuing Education Units (CEUs): Upon successful completion of a PETEX course, you will earn a speci-fied number of CEUs, credit custom-arily used for continuing education courses. To meet the minimum annual continuing education activity requirement, Texas P.E.s need to earn 1.5 CEUs, including one hour (or 0.1 CEU) of professional ethics training. • Documentation: PETEX provides a Completion Certificate detailing the course title, dates attended, and amount of CEUs earned.
