Provider Conduct

To attain approval, providers must submit one course for evaluation. Once approved, a provider may develop and offer additional courses, each of which must meet the same CTEC education standards and requirements. Providers are required to renew with CTEC each year. Providers are also subject to periodic reviews and audits.
