Welcome to the CEU page of Water Management Specialists
This page is dedicated to the Licensed Irrigator, Licensed Irrigation Technician, and the Landscape Architect that are required to obtain Continuing Education Units of training to maintain and renew their respective professional licenses.
The TCEQ requires that all licensed irrigators obtain eight (8) hours of Continuing Education Units (CEU) each year. With the recent changes in the regulations, this now means that you are now required to have obtained twenty four (24) hours for a three (3) year period. Every irrigator will have a different anniversary date. Either check with the TCEQ or contact WMS to find out when your CEU's are due. WMS maintains a data base on all of its clients and tracks hours for you. We will notify you when you are within 90 days of your license expiring.
The Texas Board of Architectural Examiners and the American Society of Landscape Architects require that all Landscape Architects obtain eight (8) hours of Continuing Education Units each year. This license is renewed every year.
The majority of all irrigators are also life members of the "Procrastinators of America". They have a tendency to wait till the third year, the last month, and the last week to obtain all of their 24 hours of CEU's. Now that the TCEQ has all of the irrigators on a regular cycle, it makes it somewhat easier.
WMS schedules a group of CEU's that will allow for an individual to obtain three (3) CEU's or 24 Hours in a month. We generally run this format every quarter. While it is not every month as some procrastinators would like it is still better than having no options at all.
We are in the final stages of our E-Training program that will assist the irrigator with travel and timing issues.
Starting in 2012 we will offer one advanced class a quarter. This advanced class will be open to all, however it is highly recommended that the attendee have at least 5+ years of heavy design or contracting skills. In addition, in 2012 we will offer one class a quarter that is targeted to both irrigators and irrigation technicians. While most all CEU courses are eligible for Irrigation Technicians, this particular class will be target specific.
We have a VACATION CEU class in November of this year. It will be in Las Vegas!. There will be two VACATION CEU's in 2012, one will be in Las Vegas and the other will either be in the Mountains or on a paddle wheeler. We are still working on the location and schedule.
