8-hour TDLR CE for ACR contractors.
CortovaTempTX: HVAC CE Built for Texas Heat
In production — In production — TDLR submission ahead. This page will update the day status changes.
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
