Correspondence Courses

The trend of conserving training resources by providing professionals with online training options continues to help reduce costs associated with industry-specific training needs and licensing requirements. In order to help organizations reduce such costs, the TEEX Water and Wastewater Program has transitioned some traditional classroom training to a correspondence platform. All TEEX Water and Wastewater Correspondence training is approved for continuing education and licensing through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ); each course is approved for 20 hours of CEU credit.

Note: In accordance with 30 TAC 30.28(p)(3)(c), correspondence courses repeated within the same renewal period will not receive training credit if the training uses the same performance-based assessment.
