## Free renewal checker
- [Renewal check](https://volt.cortova.net/renewal-check/): a free guided interview covering license type, ordinary renewal or initial application, CE already met, credit already held for course #33375, and TDLR-registered apprenticeship enrollment. It links to official TDLR requirements, registered apprenticeship programs, and course facts. It asks for no name, license number, or dates, and it does not look up your TDLR record.

## Who this is for
- Texas electrician licenses that need 4 hours of CE per renewal under 16 TAC §73.25(b): apprentice electrician, apprentice sign electrician, journeyman electrician, journeyman industrial electrician, journeyman lineman, journeyman sign electrician, maintenance electrician, master electrician, master sign electrician, and residential wireman.
- Electrical contractor and residential appliance installer licenses do not require CE.

## Before you buy
- This is renewal continuing education, not exam prep.
- Completing the course does not by itself renew a license. The licensee still renews with TDLR.

## FAQ

**How many CE hours does a Texas electrician need per renewal?**
Four hours of TDLR-approved continuing education under 16 TAC §73.25(b), completed within the term of the license being renewed (§73.25(d)).

**Do apprentices need CE?**
Yes. Apprentices take 4 hours of CE or enroll in a department-registered apprenticeship training program instead (§73.25(c)). Apprentice licenses renew annually.

**Do journeymen, masters, and contractors need CE?**
Journeyman and master electricians do (§73.25(b)). TDLR states that contractors and residential appliance installers do not.

**When is renewal due, and how do I check?**
Renewal is due before your license expires, and renewing is your responsibility. Check the expiration date on your license or in the [TDLR license search](https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch/).

**Is there a test?**
No. The course has no graded final exam. Completion requires every lesson and the full instruction time.

**How fast are hours reported?**
We report completed hours to TDLR within one business day, as our own commitment. Under 16 TAC §59.51(e), providers must submit completion reports no later than seven days after the course completion date. Providers report through [TDLR's CE completion reporting site](https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/ContinuingEducation/ProviderLogin.aspx). Learners can check hours in the [TDLR look-up](https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/ContinuingEducation/CS.aspx).

**Is it TDLR approved, and how do I verify?**
Yes. It is TDLR Course #33375 from CORTOVA, CE provider #2563. Open the [TDLR provider list](https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/ContinuingEducation/ContinuingEducationProvider.aspx?p=730), select C.E. - Electrician, then CORTOVA.

**Is it available in Spanish?**
The course is in English with a Spanish listening option. The certificate and TDLR record are in English.

**What is the refund policy?**
Full refund for any reason within 30 days of purchase, if completion has not been reported to TDLR. Email help@cortova.net from the purchase address.

**Does it count if I already have credit for course 33375?**
No. A licensee may not receive credit for taking the same course more than once (§73.25(e)). The [renewal check](https://volt.cortova.net/renewal-check/) asks this question.
