For how long must a CSR retain a copy of CE documentation after completing a course?

The requirement for a Certified Shorthand Reporter (CSR) to retain a copy of continuing education (CE) documentation is three years. This duration is established to ensure that CSRs have sufficient records in case of an audit or verification of their completed continuing education activities. Retaining this documentation for three years allows the CSR to demonstrate compliance with the ongoing education requirements mandated by the Texas jurisdiction. Moreover, this timeframe aligns with various regulatory standards that aim to ensure professionals maintain and enhance their skills consistently over time.
