To be certified, you must complete 15 hours of continuing education during designated
three year cycles. The most recent was the three year period that ended December 31,
2019. The new three year cycle started January 1, 2020, and continues until December
31, 2022.

What does that mean to you?
If you did not complete the continuing education during the last cycle, you must do that
before you can accrue 15 hours of credit for the new cycle (2020-2022).

FREE & Easy
PTR offers free online education so you can earn continuing education credits without
leaving the house. Visit www.ptrtennis.tv to take advantage of a myriad of interesting
