PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION

CEAT, in conjunction with the Texas A&M Engineering Extension (TEEX), coordinates the Basic Code Enforcement Officer course required for certification by the state of Texas. CEAT also coordinates the Intermediate Code Enforcement Officer course. Upon passage, TEEX awards a certificate. Each year courses are planned and held throughout the state. The basic course is generally held on a monthly basis from September through May. The intermediate course is held in February at a minimum. Regional meetings are held several times a year in each of the seven regions making it convenient for everyone to obtain required annual Continuing Education toward certification renewal.
