What type of tours are mentioned as not contributing to CE credit?

Visiting exhibits do not contribute to continuing education (CE) credit for Texas Certified Shorthand Reporters because they typically do not involve structured learning or instructional content aimed at enhancing the specific skills required for shorthand reporting. CE credit is generally awarded for activities that are designed to provide professional development, which includes focused workshops and training sessions that directly relate to the practice of shorthand reporting.

Corporate events, workshops, and field trips, in contrast, can often include educational components or training sessions that allow participants to learn new skills or concepts relevant to their profession. Workshops are particularly designed for hands-on learning experiences and skill enhancement, making them valuable for CE credit. Field trips may also provide direct educational experiences when related to professional practice. Therefore, the focus on structured learning in the other options distinguishes them from visiting exhibits, which may lack the same level of educational intent.
