Chapter 218 in the Texas Administrative Code deals with what topic?

• A. Certification
• B. Continuing Education
• C. Safety Protocols
• D. Record Keeping

Answer: (B)

Chapter 218 focuses on continuing education for telecommunicators. It sets up the requirements to keep a license active through ongoing training, so skills and knowledge stay current with procedures, laws, and technology. The chapter typically covers what counts as continuing education, how many hours are required in a renewal period, who can provide approved CE, how participants must document and report their hours, and the consequences of not meeting the requirements. This is about maintaining licensure after you’ve already been certified, rather than obtaining initial certification, and it’s distinct from topics like safety protocols or general record keeping.
