Texas Barber 2-Hour CE — For Barbers Licensed 15+ Years

Been cutting hair for 15 years or more? Texas rewards experience: TDLR lets veteran Class A barbers renew with a 2-hour continuing education course instead of 4. This is that course — online, audio-based, and done in about an hour and a half.

2 CE hours · $19.99

Who qualifies for the 2-hour barber course

TDLR's reduced requirement applies to barbers who have held their license for 15 or more years. Instead of the standard 4 hours, you complete 1 hour of sanitation and 1 hour of human trafficking prevention.

We check your license number against TDLR's records when you register, so you'll know you qualify before you pay. Under 15 years? You need the 4-hour course — and our system will point you there.

What's covered

The two topics TDLR requires of veteran license holders:

  • Sanitation and infection control (1 CE hour) — current disinfection rules for clippers, razors, and stations
  • Human trafficking prevention (1 CE hour) — the state-mandated awareness training

Fast, then filed

Total seat time is 100 minutes — TDLR counts a CE hour as 50 minutes. Listen on your phone like a podcast, pause between clients, and finish on your own schedule.

The moment you complete the course your certificate is emailed to you, and we report your hours to TDLR within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Do barbers licensed over 15 years really only need 2 hours of CE?

Yes. TDLR reduces the continuing education requirement to 2 hours — 1 hour of sanitation and 1 hour of human trafficking prevention — for license holders with 15 or more years of licensure. We verify your years licensed against TDLR records at registration.

How much does the 2-hour barber CE course cost?

A one-time $19.99, which includes both required topics, your instant certificate of completion, and electronic reporting to TDLR.

Is this course TDLR-approved?

Yes. Dooney's Barber & Beauty CE is TDLR continuing education Provider #2491 (Course #32440), and your completion is reported directly to TDLR.

What happens if I buy the 2-hour course but don't qualify?

Our registration check catches this before payment in almost all cases. If it does happen, you can upgrade to the 4-hour course from your dashboard and pay only the price difference.

How fast can I finish?

The course requires 100 minutes of engaged seat time. It's self-paced on any device, and most barbers finish in one or two sittings.

Can I take it in Spanish?

Yes — the entire course is available in English and Spanish, switchable at any time.
