What it is

CortovaTempTX is the eight-hour continuing education course for Texas licensed air conditioning and refrigeration (ACR) contractors — the TDLR-required mix of code, Texas law and rules, and safety, rebuilt in the Cortova course engine with the graphical, learner-first approach used across our catalog.

Eight hours is a long time to be bored

ACR contractors get the longest CE requirement in the TDLR trades — and the current market fills those eight hours with the least imaginative content in the catalog: static mechanical-code excerpts and legal boilerplate. Eight hours of a contractor's time is a serious ask. It should return serious value.

How CortovaTempTX fills eight hours

Mechanical code, visualized — installations drawn, animated, and compared against violations
Refrigerant handling and recovery taught through real service scenarios
Texas law & TDLR rules in plain contractor language
Cinematic safety modules — attic heat, electrical hazards, ladder and rooftop work
