  • Following the 60 minutes, credits will be awarded in 30-minute increments, with each 30 minutes equating to one (1) additional credit.

Time dedicated to non-educational activities, such as exhibit halls, meals, entertainment, and the like does not count toward recertification credits.

Program Approval or Denial
GBTA will electronically forward the approved sessions, the number of recertification credits, and the GTP Approved Provider seal to accepted applicants. The Provider’s approved courses will be listed on GBTA’s website in the Approved Provider Directory.
