Step 1: Access the Renewal Application in Certemy #
When it is time for you to renew your MHPS or RSPS certification, you will recieve an email notification from the Texas Certification Board informing you that a renewal application has been added into your Certemy account.
If you did not recieve an email reminder, or if your renewal application was not added into your account automatically, you will need to contact the Texas Certification Board and ask them to add one into your Certemy account.
Step 2: Upload CEU Information #
To renew your certification, you need to show Completion of twenty (20) continuing education hours of Mental health peer specialist continuing education, including three (3) hours of ethics training by an approved provider.
If you need help finding CEUs, you can find a list of TCB approved CEU providers through the TCB website. You can also find Continuing Education Opportunities within the continuing education section of your Certemy renewal application.
