Texas Plumbing Continuing Education that respects your time and your trade
Your 6 hour TSBPE CPE, taught by Ian Martin, a working Texas Master Plumber. Online, by workbook, or in a live DFW class. Straight talk, real jobsite examples, and your certificate the day you finish.
Built by a plumber, for plumbers
Most CE is a box you check. We are building the course we would want to sit through: current, practical, and useful on Monday morning.
A master plumber you can reach
Taught by Ian Martin, not a narrator or a call center. Questions about the material get answered by the person who wrote it.
What changed and why it matters
Rule and code changes explained with the reasons behind them and what they mean on your next job, not just section numbers.
Certificate the same day
Finish online and download your certificate right away. Completion is reported to TSBPE within the time the rules require.
Online, workbook, or live
Self paced online on your phone, a printed correspondence workbook, or a live class in Dallas Fort Worth.
Group classes for your company
Get the whole shop renewed in one day at your location, scheduled around your work.
Never miss a renewal
Optional reminders before your license expiration so CE never becomes a last minute scramble.
How Texas plumbing CE works
The short version of the TSBPE requirement, in plain English.
1. Take 6 hours
Master, Journeyman, and Tradesman Plumber Limited licensees complete 6 hours of approved CPE before renewal.
2. Cover the required topics
Part of the hours must cover health protection, energy conservation, and water conservation.
3. Use an approved provider
Only TSBPE approved providers and courses count toward renewal.
4. Renew your license
Your provider reports completion to TSBPE, then you renew with the board.
Always confirm your specific requirement with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.
Be first in line
Registration opens the day TSBPE approves the course. Founding list members get first access, founding pricing, and a renewal reminder that fits your license date.

Common questions
How many hours of continuing education do Texas plumbers need?
TSBPE requires 6 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) before you renew a Master Plumber, Journeyman Plumber, or Tradesman Plumber Limited license. Apprentices who hold certain endorsements and Medical Gas endorsement holders have their own CPE requirements, so check your license type on the TSBPE website.
What topics must the 6 hours cover?
Texas law requires at least part of the 6 hours to cover health protection, energy conservation, and water conservation. The rest covers subjects such as plumbing codes, safety, and changes to the law and rules. Our course is being built to meet every topic requirement in the current TSBPE rules.
Can I take Texas plumbing CE online?
Yes, TSBPE allows CPE to be completed by correspondence, which includes online self paced delivery, as long as the course and provider are approved. We plan to offer online self paced, a printed correspondence workbook, and live classes in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
Does online CE count if I am taking a licensing exam?
Exam applicants have different rules. If you are applying for an exam, confirm with TSBPE whether classroom hours are required for your situation before you choose correspondence.
How do I prove I completed my CE?
Approved providers report completion to TSBPE and issue a certificate of completion. Our plan is same day digital certificates and prompt reporting to TSBPE within the time the rules require.
