The Board has defined one contact hour as equal to 1 continuing competence unit (CCU). Continuing Education is one of the activities that a licensee may select to fulfill their continuing competence requirement for renewal. Some course providers are using the terms CCU and CEU interchangeably, while others are still calculating CEUs using the 10:1 relationship with 10 hours equal to 1 CEU.

All continuing education activities submitted on the Continuing Competence Activity Summary during the renewal process must be approved by the Texas Physical Therapy Association (TPTA) or presented by an Accredited Provider. If you are confused about what a course is “worth,” you can verify how many CCUs have been awarded to a course/seminar/conference by doing an Approved CC Search.
