Happy Teacher Professional Development is proud to be a Texas CPE Approved Provider ID #: 902-893

In Texas, educators holding a Standard Certificate are required to renew their certification every five years. The renewal process involves completing a specified number of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours, which vary based on the type of certificate held:

• Classroom Teachers: Must complete 150 CPE hours within the five-year renewal period. ​
  
• Administrators and Student Services Certificate Holders: Required to complete 200 CPE hours during the same period.

Happy Teacher Professional Development helps Texas educators meet license renewal requirements through affordable, graduate-level courses offered in partnership with accredited universities. 

How many hours are listed on the certificate of completion?

• 1 semester credit = 15 CPE hours
• 2 semester credits = 30 CPE hours
• 3 semester credits = 45 CPE hours

If your district requires graduate-level credit to move up the pay scale be sure to select “Course + Graduate Level Credit.”

Happy Teacher Professional Development also supports Texas educators on the path to earning a Master’s in Education through our proud partnership with Upper Iowa University. Together, we offer a flexible, career-aligned graduate program for only $10,000!
