And it keeps track for you

Tools that show what you still need.

Most officers find out what they're missing a few weeks before the unit ends. Members see it all year.

The two-year training unit

Know where you stand before the deadline does.

TCOLE's current training unit runs September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027. Peace officers need 40 hours, including the legislatively required courses for their license.

  • Your hours and mandates update as you complete courses.
  • Upload your TCOLE PSR and outside training counts too, so the numbers match TCOLE's record.
  • Anything still due links straight to the online course, or to an in-person class when TCOLE requires one.
  • Turn on reminders and we'll nudge you well before August 31, 2027.
How the PSR upload works
  1. Download your Personal Status Report from your TCOLE account.
  2. Upload the PDF on your cycle page.
  3. We read each course and its hours, and check every row against the PDF before anything counts.
  4. Your cycle and certificate progress now reflect your full TCOLE record, not just training taken with us.

Your PSR stays private to your account.

Example view. TCOLE awards each certificate once everything is posted to your PSR.

Proficiency certificates

Work toward your next certificate, not just this unit.

Your unit hours reset every two years. Your proficiency certificates don't. The certificate ladder shows exactly what's left for Intermediate, Advanced and Master, and the Intermediate courses are included in membership.

  • Service time, training hours and each required course, in one list.
  • Courses you still need link to the catalog, or to a class near you.
  • Built on your PSR, so it reflects your real record.
In-person requirements

When TCOLE says "in person," we help you find the class.

Crisis Intervention Training, De-escalation, ALERRT and New Supervisor are classroom-only. Members search upcoming classes from partner academies and training providers across Texas, and set an alert for the topic they need.

  • Search by topic and see dates, locations and hosts.
  • Get an email when a new class you're watching is posted.
  • Your cycle page links mandated in-person courses straight to matching classes.

Questions

Common questions

Do the courses count for TCOLE credit?

Yes. Each course lists its TCOLE course number and credit hours, and completions are reported to TCOLE with your PID.

How does my completion get to TCOLE?

Add your TCOLE PID to your profile. When you finish a course, we report the completion to TCOLE for you. Your certificate is in your account right away.

Does training I took somewhere else count?

On your cycle and certificate pages, yes: upload your TCOLE Personal Status Report and the training on it counts toward your hours and your progress.

What about classroom-only mandates?

Online versions of some mandates (like Crisis Intervention Training and De-escalation) aren't accepted by TCOLE. Find a class shows upcoming in-person classes from partner academies and alerts you when new ones are posted.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from your account. Certificates and transcripts you earned stay in your account.

Is this for jailers and telecommunicators too?

Yes. The catalog covers peace officers, county jailers and telecommunicators, including Intermediate courses for each.
