CE Broker launches new compliance measures for continuing education requirements in Texas

In a pivotal meeting held on August 27, 2025, the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council introduced a new compliance system aimed at enhancing the continuing education (CE) requirements for licensed professionals in the state. The session, led by Daryl and Robert from the Council, featured a detailed presentation by Jason Grubb from CE Broker, a platform designed to streamline the reporting and tracking of CE hours.

As the meeting commenced, Daryl outlined significant changes to the renewal process for professionals. Historically, licensees were not required to upload proof of their continuing education before renewal. However, this will soon change, with a new mandate requiring the submission of documentation prior to license renewal. Additionally, the Council announced a shift from pre-renewal audits to post-renewal audits, allowing professionals to renew their licenses without delay while still ensuring compliance.

Jason Grubb took the stage to provide an overview of CE Broker, which has been operational for over 20 years and currently serves more than 5 million licensed professionals across 300 agencies nationwide. He emphasized the platform's role in modernizing the interaction between professionals, employers, and regulatory bodies. CE Broker not only facilitates the reporting of CE hours but also connects users with thousands of educational providers, ensuring a comprehensive approach to continuing education.

The platform offers two primary methods for reporting course completions: self-reported submissions by the licensee and direct reporting by educational providers. This dual approach aims to simplify the process and enhance accuracy in tracking educational progress.

As the meeting progressed, attendees were encouraged to engage through a Q&A session, allowing for real-time clarification of the new processes. The Council's commitment to transparency and support was evident, as they prepared to address questions and concerns from participants.

This introduction of CE Broker marks a significant step forward for Texas's behavioral health professionals, promising a more efficient and accountable system for managing continuing education requirements. As the Council moves forward with these changes, the emphasis on compliance and professional development is set to reshape the landscape of behavioral health in Texas.
