The TN Board of ATs has voted in a new rule to align CE reporting with the BOC CE reporting cycle. This means EVERYONE needs to report 50 CEs in CE Broker by Dec 31, 2025! See the table below to determine what years you need to report based upon your renewal year.
**Everyone needs to report 50 CEs by 12/31/2025 to maintain licensure, regardless of expiration date**
If renewing your license in 2025, you need to report 50 CEs from 23/24. This means you will upload 2 BOC transcripts (22-23 & 24-25)
If renewing your license in 2026, you need to report 50 CEs from 24/25. This means you will upload 1 BOC transcript (24/25)
New Grads from 2023-2025, you WILL need to report 50 CEs from the two years prior to your renewal year (e.g., 23-24 if renewing 25 or 24-25 if renewing in 2026. You can use graduate credit from your AT program to fulfill 50 CEs for TN.
New in 2025, the Tennessee Board of Athletic Trainers is requiring CE reporting using a software called CE Broker. For ease of reporting, the Board does allow you to export your BOC CE Report to upload to CE Broker rather than having to duplicate your reporting for both your BOC renewal and TN Licensure renewal.
Instructions for each step in the process can be found below:
Note that if you are renewing TN Licensure in an odd year, you will need to export two different BOC transcripts. E.g., those renewing in 2025 will need to report CEs for 2023-2024. You’ll need to export BOC transcripts for both he 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 reporting years.
If you are renewing TN Licensure in an even year, you will only need to export one transcript. E.g., renewing in 2026 will need to report CEs for 2024-2025, so you will only need to export the BOC transcript for the 2024-2025 reporting years.
