TCEO retired on December 31, 2024, and will no longer offer activities for CE. CDC has moved all activities that offer CE to CDC TRAIN. You can sign up for a free CDC TRAIN account if you do not have one.

CDC TRAIN is a gateway into the TRAIN Learning Network (or TRAIN for short). TRAIN is the most comprehensive catalog of public health trainings shared by public health organizations across the United States. More than 43 federal, state, local, tribal, and other health organizations, including CDC, use TRAIN to manage public health training courses and learners. Based on the groups you choose for your learner account; you can access more than 4,000 courses or training plans.

1. Go to CDC TRAIN.
2. If you do not already have a TRAIN account (a TRAIN account from any affiliate), create a CDC TRAIN account:
   1. Click Create an Account
   2. Follow the create an account prompts to enter all required information.
   3. Complete the email verification step.
   4. Once the process is complete, the system will log you in to CDC TRAIN.
   5. You will be prompted to complete some additional profile information.
3. If you already have a TRAIN account with another affiliate, please log in to your TRAIN account.
   1. Once logged in, click on Your Profile name located in the top right corner of the homepage and then click Your Profile in the dropdown menu.
   2. Select Manage Groups, and then select the large blue Join Another Group button.
   3. Select CDC.
   4. Select a subgroup that best fits your work setting or job category and submit.
   5. Save your profile information and then select Cancel to exit.

The two systems are not connected. Your TCEO account information cannot be used to log into TRAIN. You must create a new account in TRAIN unless you already have one.

• If you do not have a TRAIN account, go to CDC TRAIN. Click on Create an Account under the Login button on the left side of the page. Complete the form and review and accept the TRAIN policies. If you live in a state that also uses TRAIN, you may be required to provide additional information. When you are finished, click Create Account. Your new account will be associated with CDC as well as a state affiliation if you were prompted with additional questions.
• If you already have an account (from any other affiliate), log in and go to Your Profile (click your name in the upper right corner). Under Manage Groups you can add CDC to your existing account.

No, TCEO and CDC TRAIN records will not be combined, but you will be able to access your TCEO data through December 31, 2025, in TCEO. If you earned CE for a course in TCEO, please visit TCEO to access and download your certificates and transcript. If you earn CE in CDCTRAIN, you will be able to access you records for those courses in CDC TRAIN.

You will be able to access your CE course records from TCEO through December 31, 2025. We recommend saving your transcript and certificates for your reference before that date. If for some reason you need to access these after December 31, 2025, please reach out to Contact TCEO to have your records emailed to you. Records will not be available after a seven-year retention period.

Moving to one training system is more efficient for learners and for CDC. CDC has managed two systems for CDC training opportunities, both TCEO and CDC TRAIN, since 2011. Moving to one system provides CDC programs and partners one place to list their training opportunities and allows learners to access non-credit and for-credit educational activities, track their learning, and earn CE in one place.
