What is CE Broker? An Overview for Texas BHEC Licensees
CE Broker Package options — I decided on the basic (free) account, as it meets my needs.
CE reporting has changed for all BHEC Licensees.
Up until now, license renewal worked on the honor system — you attested that your CE requirements were complete, and unless you were selected for a random audit, that was the end of it.
That process is over. Beginning January 1, 2026, all licensees will be required to track and report their CE credits through CE Broker (a CE management system that BHEC has decided to use). This means documentation of CE completion must be uploaded and maintained in CE Broker before renewal.
Important dates:
CE Broker accounts are available now (including a free version)
January 1, 2026: Licensees must have created an account and reported required CE hours in order to renew
A preview of the CE reporting page, where you can begin reporting by category. Note: I’m an LPC, so this is a screenshot of what my reporting page looks like — keep in mind that while BHEC is working toward greater consistency across license types, some differences remain.
Our advice? Set up your account now. Uploading CE certificates as you earn them will save you a lot of stress come renewal time.
I decided to use my approach strategies (oh, therapist jokes), and go ahead and set up my account. Good news: It only took me about 4 minutes, including the time it took me to take a couple of screen shots and step-by-step notes to share with you all here.
Here’s How to Get Started:
Go to the website: cebroker.com/plans and enter in your state and profession (licensure type).
Select your plan (free or paid) — it auto selects a paid version, I enrolled in the basic (free) version, as it seems to suit my needs. See screenshot of the packages offered.
Enter your license number.
Confirm your license/name and package selection.
Create an account by adding an associated email, account name and password.
It takes you to a homepage, where you can begin uploading and tracking your CEUs by category (see screenshot).
