Application for Continuing Education Approval (General Hours)

TCA sponsors its divisions and chapters by authorizing them to use TCA’s continuing education provider number so that they may offer a variety of CE programs and events. Applications are reviewed by a team of professional counselors to ensure the program complies with the criteria set forth by each regulatory body.

If you are a TCA division or chapter, please complete the application below to request co-sponsorship of your program or event and use of TCA’s CE provider number.

Submit a separate application for each program offered. A multi-program event requires a separate request for each program.

  • 1-3 programs: Submit applications no less than 30 days prior to event
  • 4-10 programs: Submit applications no less than 60 days prior to event
  • 11+ programs: Submit applications no less than 90 days prior to event

NOTE: This application is for GENERAL programs ONLY. Ethics programs MUST be submitted using the Ethics Hours Form.

Chapter and Division CE programs MAY NOT be submitted during blackout dates.
