How To Earn Required Credits

You have heard about the continuing education policy that

has gone into effect this year. All of us are required to get
6 credits in 3 years. Many of us are not sure where to go to get
these credits or how many credits are workshops, conferences, or
reviewed videos are worth?
This is really much easier than you think and it is important
that all of our USPTA members be clear on how to get the
credits and what they are worth.

The list below is only a partial listing of events eligible for

educational credit. If you have questions concerning events or
activities not listed, please contact the Education Department at
uspta.com/education or 713-978-7782 and 800-877-8248.
Members are responsible for submitting proof of attendance for
non-USPTA events (email, letter, certificate, receipt, etc.)
