Under Procedural Rule P-28.II.1-6, TDI will not award credit hours for completing the same course more than once per reporting period. Since this course is also approved under a different instruction method (live as a classroom course at Conference 2025 and on-demand as a classroom equivalent course), credit cannot be granted for both formats if received within the same reporting period.
