Course Overview
This TDLR-approved 8-hour course covers the full annual continuing education requirement for Texas air conditioning and refrigeration (ACR) contractors — both Class A and Class B licenses. It goes deep on the law every contractor operates under: the ACR Contractor License Law (Occupations Code Chapter 1302), the administrative rules in 16 TAC Chapter 75 — including the mechanical codes they adopt — and professional ethics. Complete it entirely online at your own pace, get your certificate instantly, and we report your completion directly to TDLR within 24 hours. (Registered and certified ACR technicians do not have a CE requirement — this course is for licensed contractors.)

Finish your CE hours — start today, finish today
This 8-hour course is fully online with no final exam, and we report your hours to TDLR within 24 hours of completion. TDLR requires your CE on file before it completes your renewal. CE hours finished after your expiration date still count toward a late renewal — TDLR accepts hours completed within the year before your renewal date (16 TAC §75.25(c)).
- 02
Renew with TDLR — on TDLR's site, at TDLR's fee
Renew on TDLRTDLR renewal fees by how late the renewal is When you renew TDLR's fee On time $65 Expired 1–90 days $97.50 (1.5× the $65 fee) Expired more than 90 days $130 (2× the $65 fee) Expired 18 months – 3 years $130 (2× the $65 fee), with TDLR executive director approval Expired 3 years or more Cannot renew — must apply as a new applicant
