We're proud to share that All American Tradesman CE has been named the Editor's Choice 2026 TDLR-approved Texas electrician continuing education provider by Tradesman Times. In their head-to-head comparison of the major electrician CE providers serving Texas, the editors concluded — in their own words — "For Texas electricians specifically, the right answer is AATCE, and it isn't close."
Below is the full comparison table from the Tradesman Times review, plus a summary of the reasons they picked AATCE over four other national providers.

Why AATCE Won the Editor's Choice
The review highlighted four areas where AATCE pulled ahead of the rest of the field:
- Price and same-day TDLR reporting. At $24.99, AATCE isn't the cheapest option on the list — 360training undercuts on sticker price — but AATCE is the only provider that pairs a low price with same-day automatic reporting to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
- Platform quality. The reviewers described the AATCE course player as "the most modern platform we tested — mobile-first, fast, no UI rot," and pointed out that several competitors charging double the price are still running interfaces that haven't been updated in years.
- Texas-specific expertise. Tradesman Times noted that AATCE is "built by working Texas tradespeople, not a national CE corporation." Support tickets were answered in around three hours, and the answers were Texas-specific rather than generic.
- Student sentiment. Across the review platforms the editors tracked, AATCE had the highest average student rating and "the most consistent reviews," with very little negative feedback.
What This Means for You
If you're a Texas electrician who needs to complete your TDLR continuing education this renewal cycle — whether you hold a Master, Journeyman, Residential Wireman, or Maintenance Electrician license — the editorial recommendation is simple: complete the 4-hour course with the provider that reports your completion to TDLR the same business day you finish.
That's TDLR Provider #2437, course number 31233, $24.99, delivered entirely online. No proctoring, no waiting for TDLR to process a paper submission, no surprise upcharges for the completion certificate.
